Field Trip: Chicago Botanic Gardens 4/28/10, Part 2

If you like tulips, the Chicago Botanic Garden is a good place to be in late April/early May. Here are just a few of the many that I saw last Wednesday.

Field of brightly colored Tulipa varieties that greet you as you enter the Gardens from the Visitors' Center. Click this, and all of the following pictures, for a larger view.
