Two Things Challenge - Hot / Cold

Its Sunday, in case you didn't know(!), and its time for Two Things Challenge. My photos today are of the same place in Cheltenham - the Long Gardens in front of the Municipal Offices. The first one shows some red hot tulips which were in full flower last spring. And the second one shows a wider view of the gardens covered in cold snow, which has been the case all week.

Red Sea

This sea of red tulips is in the Long Garden in front of the Municipal Offices in the Promenade. Tulips are always the last spring bulb to come into flower and they make such a striking display. We are having some very hot weather at the moment so the blooms won't last much longer. Enjoy them while you can!

Sorry for the short post and lack of comments, time is short at the moment. I'll be catching up today! I hope you all have a good weekend.

The End Result

Last October I posted on the planting of the Long Garden, in front of the Municipal building. Back then the Council gardeners were busy planting pansies, wallflowers and tulip bulbs and now the weather has started to warm up, and the evenings are getting lighter, the fruits of their labours can be seen by all. The plants make a fantastic splash of long awaited colour.
