Spring Tulips Around Neenah — May 19, 2016
Spring color around Neenah on May 19th. The tulips were great this year — especially these flame-streaked varieties with their bold red markings across bright yellow petals. They almost look hand-painted.
There’s a whole range of them blooming in the beds, from the densely layered double tulips to the more open single blooms showing off their red-and-yellow interiors. After a long Wisconsin winter, a burst of color like this is exactly what you want to see.
