Floral Library Tulips

Everyone flocks to the Tidal Basin to see the cherry blossoms. They are a sight to see. But there is another lovely spot to check out that is right across the street from the Washington Monument near the parking lot of the Tidal Basin. It is the floral library that has a revolving garden from spring to fall. Right now there are so many varieties and types and colors of tulips. It’s really beautiful. We drove in to town last week to visit Stumpy - the little cherry tree that could - and on our way back to the car we stopped at the floral library. It was quite busy with visitors and locals alike trying to take photos from all different angles. Spring is always so lovely in DC. The flowering gardens and trees and bulbs are stunning. Unfortunately they don’t last very long but we are so fortunate to have an opportunity to visit often. We lived on Capitol Hill for thirteen years and loved the US Botanic Gardens for all of the obvious reasons. Now that we live in northern Virginia we don’t miss out on any of it. My husband doesn’t care for daffodils and tulips. But even he was surprised by how lovely the garden looked.
