#5: 30 June — Tulip

This past April, we took a day trip to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival where I was blown away by the extensive fields of tulips. These continuous agglomerations of flowers project such a massive color that, seen from the distance, it gives the impression to be a fence or something unreal. But once you get closer, the spectacle is simply breathtaking.

Though one associates the tulips with the Dutch, this flower is actually native of the Middle East. The red color represents love, passion, respect, and courage —sentiments which the tulip takes further with its boldness and its solid color.
