The Canadian Tulip Festival / Festival Canadien des Tulipes in Ottawa the capital city of Canada
The Canadian Tulip Festival began after the Second World War, when Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs as a token of friendship in 1945.
Canada had provided asylum for the Dutch royal family during the war and played a strong role in the Netherlands’ liberation. While the royal family sought refuge in Ottawa, Princess Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet on January 19th 1943 at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The Canadian government temporarily declared the room “Dutch soil,” to ensure that the Princess would remain in line for the throne.
The Netherlands continues to give Ottawa 20,000 tulip bulbs every year.
Ottawa’s first Canadian Tulip Festival took place in May 1953 and opened with an inauguration ceremony at Parliament Hill.
The Canadian Tulip Festival has grown into the largest annual display of tulips in North America.
The Canadian Tulip Festival is also a celebration of the return of spring, with over a million tulips in 50 varieties blooming in public spaces across the National Capital Region.

As you enter into the main gallery at the conservatory, you are transported to the imaginary world of Wonderland...
Magnificent topiaries, red roses, and Hearts Gallore...
I see the Queen's robe... I expect her Highness to appear any moment!
We Keep Exploring is a movement simply to encourage the everyday person to get out an explore, even if its just the woods behind your apartment in college. My roommate, Abby and I, have really been inspired by the movement and decided to purchase one of their patches! We plan on taking it on all of our adventures.
These two markers were found along the shore of the lake...
I tried to research to see if they died on the lake, or went missing, but no luck on a search.
