A single red tulip is a step ahead of the other tulips in the gardens outside the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Ontario as the cup shape of the tulip is opened completely. In the background an entire garden of tulips are still in bud form which will soon open and be as beautiful as the single red tulip in the foreground.The tulip has six petals surrounding the centre of the flower where the tepals, stamens, sitgmas all blend together to create this unique design inside the flower head.
Tulips are very common in many parts of the world, but the ones in the gardens of the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Ontario are very well tended to and bloom to perfection.Tulips, Tulipa, in the gardens surrounding the Parliament Buildings on Parliament Hill, City of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
