Every year, there are several Tulip festivals in the country. Dandenong ranges has one, as does Canberra. Since we had never been to Canberra, we picked the Floriade to see the Tulips.

First up, I must say that it was not what I expected. I did expect to see masses of blooming Tulips, but that was all there really was! The term 'Floriade' threw me off, I expected lots of other spring flowering bulbs like Hyacinth, Daffodils, Iris etc. However, there were only Tulips, arranged in various beds.

The idea of growing them in various beds was to form a drawing of sorts. As an example, there was one which depicted the shadow of the WWI planes flying over fields. There was another which had tulips growing in the Red Cross emblem. But at ground level, these patterns were almost impossible to see!

There was a Gnome painting competition for some schools. Pretty interesting!

All in all, it wasn't as exciting as we hoped it would be. But fields of flowers always make for some really great pictures!
