The gardens of the Alberta Temple in Cardston, Alberta in Canada are well maintained and these pink tulips flourish in the spring and summer months.

As summer approaches in Southern Alberta, the gardens at the Alberta Temple flourish and pink tulips sprout up everywhere amongst the other greenery in the garden. This garden sits near the entrance to the Alberta Temple and the colors of the pink tulips and other flowerss are the perfect contrast with the bright white color of the church.Pink tulips are perennial bulbous plants that grow to be anywhere from four to twenty-seven inches tall and their six waxy feeling petals surround the center of the flower. In the morning sun, the pink tulips open to their fullest but as evening approaches the petals of the tulips close up.

Long green leaves sprout around the base of the tulips and the stem stretches upward for a few inches to reach the flower head. Tulips grow in a variety of colors such as pink, red, yellow, purple to name just a few and an array of different colored tulips adds amazing color to anyone's garden. ... continue below the picture...

Southern Alberta is the ideal location for tulips to reach their maximum potential when summer approaches as they require cold winters to grow properly. The gardens of the Alberta Temple are very well cared for so when the pink tulips begin to appear, they have plenty of space to grow around the other shrubbery and multi-colored flowers.
