WW: Boston Tulips at Lewes Tulip Festival

Yellow and Red Tulips Photo

"Like tulip-beds of different shape and dyes,
Bending beneath the invisible west-wind’s sighs."
- Excerpt from Lalla Rookh by Thomas Moore

I saw so many different types of tulips at the Lewes Tulip Festival earlier in April that I wasn't sure which flower photo to share first. Then the Boston Marathon raced into the news this week and made my decision easy, as these gorgeous red and yellow tulips are named after the city.
