Tulips are always one of my favorite spring flowers to photograph. And this year several local gardens had spectacular tulip displays which meant I had a wonderful photographing tulips this spring. Since I know many of you are also tulip fans, I thought I’d share some of my favorite tulip photos from this spring with you.
These Lightning Sun Tulips reminded me of some of the Dale Chihuly glass I photographed in Las Vegas.

I loved the combination of the bright red and yellow in the Abba, Akebono and Bright Parrot Tulips

I also photographed some tulips with much softer colors including Antoinette, Cretaceous, and Daydream.

The El Nino Tulips have so many amazing shades of orange, yellow and red in the petals

And then there were all the textures and shades of pink in the Weber’s Parrot Tulips.

I can’t wait to start editing up some of these photos and making them available as prints so you can add them to your collections of my photos. In the meantime, I have made several of my older tulip photos available for a limited time.

And of course I’m already looking forward to photographing more incredible tulips next spring
