RE: Walk With Me through the Canadian Tulip Festival

in Pinmapple2 years ago

I didn't realize that Ottawa had a tulip festival. Maybe I'll go next year since I'll be back to Ontario by then.

Great photos. There are so many interesting varieties of tulips out there.

I did a post on it one other year. I love the history where the Dutch Royal family was sheltering here during the war and the hospital declared the maternity ward to be extraterritorial for the birth of Princess Margariet. That meant she would only inherit Dutch citizenship and could still be in line for their throne. Princess Margaret visited this year.

Yeah that is very a interesting bit of history between the two countries.
