Not all tulips are from Amsterdam.

Tasmania puts on a good show and has a thriving business in tulip bulbs.

 

As we drove around the lanes of Table Cape on the north west coast, fields of colour appeared around a corner, or from behind a hedge. The backdrop of ocean and the lighthouse, added to the beauty.

The flowers are in bloom for a month and one farm holds open days where the public can “tiptoe through the tulips”.
