Goodbye DC Cherry Blossoms…Hello Tulips!
The famous Washington, DC cherry blossoms have come and gone. So if you missed the annual display of color, you’ll have to wait until next year.
But that doesn’t mean the National Mall isn’t still full of beautiful color.
The annual explosion of spring flowers, mostly tulips have bloomed in flower beds all over the mall, most notably at the National Park Service’s Tulip Library, on the northern border of the Tidal Basin, between the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.
One other smaller tulip library is maintained at the Netherlands Carillon, next to the Iwo Jima memorial, across the Potomac River.
Here’s a few examples of what the Tulip Library displayed this weekend.
The tulips will last only a short time, so visit the Tulip Library soon!
