Story Behind the Photo: Tulips
These beautiful tulips were photographed on spring day at the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA. Named after the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina, hundreds of tulips can be found in bloom during the spring. The garden sits at the northwest corner of Golden Gate Park at the base of the Dutch Windmill, built in 1903. The windmill once operated to pump groundwater throughout the park for irrigation now serves as a focal point of the tulip garden. The Dutch Bulb Grower’s Association donates hundreds of tulip bulbs each year in honor of Queen Wilhelmina.
