SPRING REPORT WEEK 9.1

Saturating your senses with tulips in Morges, Switzerland

Morges, the same town that hosts a celebration for dahlias after the summer, runs one for tulips in spring. Come and see the stunning variety of colors and shapes these flowers can offer.

Every April and May, the always-flowered town of Morges holds the Fête de la tulipe, a celebration dedicated to showcasing tulips of all possible colors, shapes and sizes. It was extremely difficult to choose which photographs to include; so my selection is just… well, a bit long!

Tulips here, tulips there. Tulips everywhere. Of all colors, of all possible shapes. Small or big, always softly fragrant.

Warning: blast of tulips ahead!
