Cherry Blossoms, Australia
This post is going to be all kinds of flowery and pinky and girlish… Add into the mix a bit of polka dots too.
Those who follow my blog would know that I have been visiting the Tulip Top Gardens in Canberra for the last two years every Spring. They open their beautiful gardens for three weeks every year for everyone to enjoy the spectacular display of Tulips and Cherry Blossoms
Australia
You might have to endure an avalanche of flowery photos until I find something more fascinating.
I visited the garden last weekend with my friends, and we all were woww wowingg all through the morning and afternoon, even with a mouthful of food. This is definitely a place for selfie lovers. The Cherry Blossoms drew everyone in. Pink, white, yellow, purple – the trees stood glamorously in this impeccably maintained garden.
I think yellow is my favorite color again.
After roaming around the garden, admiring the blossoms and varieties of Tulips, we walked uphill where you get a stunning view of the landscape around Canberra.
Free tea/coffee, sausages and Egg sandwich were served at the garden. We sat together around one of the white round tables, listening to live music and enjoying the cool afternoon breeze.
I feel a hint of sadness when I think how shortlived the life of a cherry blossom is. The tree looks like any normal tree rest of the year. But when its time, they burst into something so unreal and dreamlike. Their presence makes everything look incredibly beautiful and graceful. Just a glimpse of these flowers would lift your mood. Maybe that’s what they are trying to teach as well. It doesn’t matter how long you have been on this earth, but were you able to make an impact? Did you make someone smile?

Incredibly GORGEOUS!!! Your photos felt like walking in a fairy tale…especially if wind had petals dancing around you.
WOW – these are some of the best floral picks I’ve ever seen. i was honestly reminded of cherry blossoms in Japan and the tulip fields in the Netherlands. so so lovely
Your photos are absolutely gorgeous. Those yellow flowers are to die for! <3
Very beautiful photos.
“Wow” is a great way of describing this place lol. I love the colors of the blossoms. As an artist, this place would be sooo inspiring to visit! Love this!
The cherry blossoms look so lovely! I wouldn’t expect to find them in Australia having been there before, but it’s awesome that there’s a place like this to admire them there.
Wow! I think these have got to be some of the most gorgeous garden photos I’ve ever seen!
Omgosh! I didn’t know this existed! The flowers are drop dead gorgeous in EVERY photo! Great capture!
This looks lovely! I was just in Canberra a few weeks back but I only made it to Floriade and all the museums. It looks really pretty here though, so i’ll have to return to see it all in bloom next year. I love tulips!
Omg this is just so pretty!! I love flowers, and I love pink!
Oh wow you were right in your opening statement! What an absolutely stunning place 😉 Thanks for linking to #MondayEscapes
So pretty! We’re going into Fall here. I love Spring with Cherry Blossoms and Tulips!
I had no idea that Australia had cherryblossoms (let alone all those other flowers). I would have thought you were in Japan or the Netherlands. That is so amazing and I love your pictures.
Happy spring!
Your photos are exquisite and just so beautiful- like your outfit too!
Oh my goodness! So much color. I love it! Here in Nebraska – center of the US everything is turing brown for fall.
The spring flowers are lovely but I love that dotty skirt

Your photos are delightful, and remind me of the cherry blossoms that bloomed every spring in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, where I grew up. It was orchard country then, and there were apple and peach and plum trees…and the beautiful, beautiful cherry blossoms! Thank you for awakening these memories.
This looks gorgeous… Had no idea about Canberra. Thanks for the share
I do not find an apt word to describe my Aww struck feeling! Stunning images of cherry blossoms and tulips!
