What was supposed to be a couple days relaxing after a week in Ireland became a single day of whirlwind touristing. The tulips did not disappoint, but the orchids stole the show!

We came for tulips. And they had lots of tulips.
Ronaldo, Violet Beauty, and Angelique
Some of the flowers have quite un-flowerlike names.
We went for the tulips, but spent most of the day in the orchid house.
