This week has been so busy, doing all sorts of things to prepare for the show this Sunday at Royal Roads and Hatley Castle. It’s the Mother’s Day Paint In. We participated last year too. And there is so much to do, like get the display panels ready, get the printing done, make sure all the sculpture is ready and the mosaics… all the little details that make a good show, a good booth.
But, in all this rush, I realized that I have these hot, hot photos of tulips to share,
and I’ve got this lovely cool photo of lilac blossoms after the rain
and a Tree Peony in cool cool white to share too.
Ok back to getting ready, back to organization and lists of things to cross off. Hopefully, if you live in Victoria, you’ll be able to see the show. It really is fun and the artists are great, plus there’ll be plants for sale and music and lovely gourmet goodies. Oh, can’t wait.

I would love to see that vine covered castle! Your photos are great. Thanks for sharing them, and I hope the show goes well!
It sounds like a lovely time! That yellow tulip really is hot! It looks like it has flames snaking out of it.
Tulips are really hot. Lovely lilac. I love tree peonies! I have only one, pink which is blooming right now. Will post its pictures tomorrow. Very good pictures, thank you!
Hi Deb, It really is a lovely castle, and has been used in quite a few movies shot in Victoria. I’m looking forward to the show, it’s actually supposed to be sunny that day!
Hi Nancy, Isn’t that tulip just too much. It actually opens up like that and closes at night. Just sort of looks like it’s bursting open, doesn’t it?
Hi Tatyana, I do love the hot colors of the tulips, in fact, I like hot colors, period. But the Tree Peony, is something I love too, even though it’s white. I just love the perfume too.
aloha helen,
love the tulips…hey if you have other hot colors, save them for the hot meme at the end of the month…the castle is also very striking, would love to see the inside
I just love the hot colored tulips, especially the yellow and orange ones
Hi Noelle, We’ve really enjoyed the tulips. They’re almost over now and amazingly made it through some strong winds too.
Hi Noel, of course I’d totally forgotten about them for your meme. I’ll try to find something for this month though.
I’m so glad that you commented on my blog and I found yours. You are very talented and I love the daisy painting. You live in a beautiful place!
Hi Amy, glad you found my blog too. You must have had a look at our gallery to see my paintings. How nice that you took that time! And yes, we do live in what I think is the best place in Canada but then I’m prejudiced.
Thanks for taking many minutes out of your busy day to post more of nature’s amazing colours - beautiful!
