A rare one off Tulip flower broach from me which you can attach to anything you like permanently or temporarily. You can find this little beauty at No. 17 Cafe & Bistro in Dipton, Co. Durham or on my on-line shop, please click on the link below. I thought I would do one as it is after all coming up to the start of the Tulip season in downtown Ottawa where I am from. In Canada they have a 10 day Tulip Festival where there are lots of things to do/see and also Tulip carvings/sculptures painted in the brightest of colours. I loved this time of year when I lived there, all of the Tulip ranges everywhere for as far as they eye can see - there are over 1 million Tulips on display across Ottawa and 300,000 over 26 beds in Commissioners Park, downtown Ottawa . Why the Tulip connection is so important to Ottawa is because during WW2 the Dutch Royal Family were given refuge in Ottawa and the Netherlands sent a "Gift of Tulips" 100,000 of them which honor the Veterans in WW2. Its a sight to be seen in person for sure! In 2017 there was a special 150 year Anniversary Tulip created for Ottawa's age and the red rising from the base of the bulb signifies the red maple leaf of Canada. π·π¨π¦πΉ
