I returned to Longwood Gardens yesterday for the peak of the tulip blooms.

(6,407 posts)The paths through the tulip beds were packed; I've never seen so many people at Longwood on a weekday. I had to park in the remote overflow lot and take a shuttle to the entrance, which usually only happens during special fountain-show weekends or the annual Christmas show.

(25,218 posts)The second one is outstanding! I love tulips so much but they do not like FL heat, so are difficult to regrow. I got some this year that were beautiful, dark red outside and inside is very bright yellow with a dark red center and brown freckles - glorious! I'm going to try refrigerating the bulbs in the fall for a few months before planting them. Hopefully it'll be cold enough for them to grow - but that is very iffy for here recently.
