Rainbow Tulip Scenes from Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah
Here are a few mores shots of the bulbs in bloom on Temple Square.
The bright red looks so lovely with a violet underplanting.
Many areas felt more formal, but this bed had the feel of a meadow.
Complementary gold and violet worked well together along with some airy white daffodils.
These tulips are accurately named 'Giant Orange Sunrise,' and they were the biggest tulips I'd ever seen. Very impressive.
Here in Spokane the bloom season is a few weeks behind Temple Square, so I'm still looking forward to seeing the tulips bloom at the Spokane Temple and in my garden.

Pastel Tulip Scenes from Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah
We traveled to Utah last week and visited Temple Square in Salt Lake City to see the spring bulbs in full bloom.
I didn't have my good camera with me, so these shots are all from my cell phone. I'm posting them anyway since I don't know when I'll be back to take better pictures.
The different displays just kept going and going. We had limited time to stay, so I hurried around with a big grin on my face, madly snapping photos.
I liked how this area echoed the rusty-orange concrete with orange tulips in the bed.
Wall planters were filled with pansies and bulbs in colors that coordinated with the beds nearby.
The spicy-sweet fragrance of hyacinths wafted through the area. What a lovely experience!
Next week I'll post pictures of the deeper rainbow hues.
