Sweetheart

Canada was honoured when Her Royal Highness Princess Juiliana (1909 - 2004), later Queen Juiliana of The Netherlands found refuge in Canada's Capital during the occupation of her homeland during 1940 -1945. Her Majesty's gifts of tulips each year have created beauty for the enjoyment for residents and visitors. ~ From the National Capital Commission brass plaque.

 

There are over 300.000 tulips planted along The Driveway, next to Dow's Lake each year. Ottawa celebrates each May with a Tulip Festival. It started this weekend.

 

The name of this tulip is Sweetheart.
