Each September, Trish and I travel to the Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point in LEHI, Utah, for the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. This week and next we are back here for performance and workshop work. It happens that we are here in the middle of the Garden’s Tulip Festival.
And it is not just tulips. This year more that 750,000 bulb flowers of many kinds were planted in the Gardens. In one planting hour, a group of volunteers planted 41,089 bulbs, setting a Guinness World Record.
There are daffodils beyond daffodils, both in numbers and varieties…all shapes and sizes. There are hyacinths and grape hyacinths and other flowers we have never seen before. And then, there are so many tulip varieties that they defy imagination.
We plan on visiting several times while we are here as the thousands of tulips do not all bloom at the same time. Each day unveils a new panoply of color and shape.
If you ever get a chance to see this outdoor show, it is well worth making the trip. We walked nearly three hours and still only covered about half of the garden. Tomorrow will be another day!
