Tuesday is for tulips...keeping it simple

There is no denying the stunning appearance of the river of tulips at Chateau de Cheverny but these flowers bring a touch of joy wherever they are displayed, these  are from a friends garden in nearby Lesigny

 

Looking forward to spring and what it will bring - at Chateau de Cheverny

Early guests at our holiday cottage can enjoy a stroll among the beautiful tulip display at Chateau de Cheverny.

Tulips in Touraine

These lovely tulip volunteers popped up in our potager at the Old  Walnut Mill - a gift from nature

Here are some better examples around us in Touraine...

This boat is moored just outside Paulmy.

These are in Montresor

This is a spring bed at Chateau de Chenonceau.

This little group I like as the can be found in the woodland behind Chateau de Villandry away from the formal gardens.

Another walk among the tulips at Chateau de Cheverny

We have a project to start at the garden behind the barn at the 'Old Walnut Mill' this week so Pauline and I decided to head up the Chateau de Cheverny  yesterday,to see this year's tulip display in the grounds first hand before they start to die off.

Glad we did - quite stunning!

The displays also extend into the 'kitchen garden'which is themed as is the whole place, for Easter.

These are in the 'apprentices garden' in front of the Orangery'

They are even the boats on the lake.

Cheverny will soon be awash with tulips.

Will not be long now until the tulips at Chateau de Cheverny are at there best...beautiful!
