It was a riot of colour.

| Not all were tulips of course |

| The hyacinths smelt amazing |
 |
| My favourite individual flower I think |
Sometimes my camera struggled with the vibrancy of the colours, so I played with it a bit and made a Warholish impressionist painting. I like it.

| It would make a great jigsaw I think. |
Saturday Snapshot, is a wonderful weekly meme from at home with books
I've always wanted to go to Floriade - your photos are amazing! Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteYou are reminding me of our own annual Tulip Festival here in Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers!
These are great pictures that I wish were scratch and sniff!
The colors are gorgeous. I don't think of tulips in Australia. There are so many things I don't know about Australia. I'd better put it on my list of places to visit, but visiting your blog for photos each week is a good backup plan. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteI don't think of tulips in Australia either! Beautiful photos, but how strange to see your spring flowers, when we have falling leaves, and chestnuts, and scarlet berries everywhere.My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/ksE6O
ReplyDeleteThe colors appear so vivid in your photos that I can't even imagine what it is like to see in person. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing,

Oh my goodness! Springtime colors in the Fall! Reminds me of Ottawa, yes .... and Keukenhof in Holland! So beautiful ... thank you for the virtual visit!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI should go and buy myself some tulips. They are my favourite!
A gorgeous floral carpet! Definitely a "riot" of color, as you say.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
WOW, I am loving the flower pictures this morning. I don't know where Floriade is, but I want to go there!!!! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow... beautiful colours for jigsaw puzzles or postcards. Envy you're having spring while we're heading towards winter. I've got some fall photos, totally different worlds we live in.
ReplyDeletethe flowers are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing these pictures :) Book Savvy Babe
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! Beautiful flowers are blooming in the southern hemisphere now... and soon everything will be dead here in the north. Enjoy your spring and all the lovely colors the flowers bring.
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful! The colors are all so lovely, and that last photo turned out very well!
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are gorgeous - you have me dreaming of spring!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous and riotous reminder that it's springtime in Australia!... Very odd as we contemplate the autumn leaves here in the states (but not so much on the west coast where I am)
ReplyDeleteI love looking at your rainbow of flowers! Beautiful, beautiful colors.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Snapshot.
What absolutely stunning flowers. Amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I love Floriade too but haven't been for years. Looks like there was a good showing this year. I love your Warholesque picture :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Louise ... I put a few on Facebook but not that lovely fringed tulip which I photographed last year (or recently at least). You didn't tell me you were here - though as it turned out I wouldn't have been free as our son flew up on Monday and back to Melbourne on Wednesday so out time was devoted to him!
ReplyDeleteI thought the poppies were stunning.
