It’s tulip time at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Tulips come in a wide array of colors and dazzle the eye in mass plantings in the Longwood garden beds.

This bright purple perfectly displays the “Vivid Violet” of today’s Color Your World – 120 Days of Crayola Challenge.

My favorites are the coral-pink variety.

They are beautiful planted in abundance, but I prefer to zoom in on a smaller group and enjoy the beauty of the sun’s rays shimmering through each petal.
