Tulips are my favorite flower to shoot. I have had many tulips in my yard so no need to go to the coast to shoot. Long drive from Spokane to take tulip pics even though I love the fields of lush color. I may end up over there in the next few wekks anyway. is there a 'tulip watch' website??
Yes, Dean, for the Skagit Valley, google tulips.com and click on the bloom map update icon in the left sidebar. For the fields down south, suggest to google for Holland America Co. or Wooden Shoe tulips or Woodland tulips. Maybe Craig or Ned can give more exact info on those...
Great shot, btw! I love the look of the petals at the tops of tulips, and this image shows it well.
We shall have to add a "Best of the East" category for our tulip challenge. Feel free to post yours in that thread. Hope you make it over to the "west" for tulip season. Sounds like at least a few of us will be around Woodland next weekend, rain or shine, so says Ned...

Best of the East would be great. Remember that our tulips in most areas have not even budded yet. We are a few weeks behind the coastal weather but I am looking forward to shooting some tulips soon.
