This post is mostly about tulips and daffodils but we ladies (Mennonite Girls Can Cook) did enjoy lunch in La Conner after we tiptoed through the tulips and daffodils. So I’m linking to ABC Wednesday for L is for Lunch with the ladies in La Conner! Thank you to Mrs. Nesbitt and the ABC team!
Seven out of ten of the girls were able to meet up for a few hours in the Skagit Valley of Washington State. Six of the girls had to cross the border from Canada into Washington State. I live in Washington State so I just drove North for a little over an hour to meet up.
You can call these rows of tulips but since we are on the letter L we can call them lines of tulips.
When us girls are together there are lots of photos taken.
Such lovely landscapes!
You can look at lots of varieties of tulips at the gardens open to the public like Roozengaarde and Tulip World.
Other flowers besides tulips are planted in the gardens. These lavender colored hyacinth blooms are so pretty paired with yellow blooms.
We love each other and laugh a lot when we get together.
I’ll add my Bible verse for the letter L…
You will encounter lots of mud if you want to walk out to the fields of tulips or daffodils so mud boots are a good idea to lug with you and make sure you bring a plastic bag to put them in when you are done and put your clean shoes on.
It really is amazing to have this area in Washington State to enjoy and to rival the tulip production of Holland.
What a great meeting place and lovely garden photos. You are privileged to be in such a wonderful group of ladies.
What a wonderful time together that must have been! And such amazing fields of tulips! What an awesome Creator we have. I loved the photos – and those cute boots! 🙂
We tip toed through them too.. What a cute group of ladies and wonderful photos…
Such beautiful tulip fields! I also loved the hyacinths and daffodils. I planted about 300 iris and summer flower bulbs in my garden this weekend, which took me two hours to do, so I can’t imagine how all these tulips are planted every year!
Love all your cute boots!
Lovely ladies who lunch, I like it!
I love tulips and daffodils, the pictures are delightful,
Best wishes,

Absolutley exquisite! The scapes are gorgeous and your photography is terrific. Thank you for sharing spring and friendships and lOvE.
What beautiful photos. And I love the improvised plastic bag booties! Very clever. Glad you had such a nice day. xoxox
LOOKS LIKE you LADIES had LOTS of LOVELY flowers to see and added to the beauty with such LOVELY Wellies!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I will no doubt never make it to Holland, but perhaps Washington State is in the cards. I love the blue plastic bag boot. I will remember to bright my MuckBoots. You made my day. Tom The Backroads Traveller
I loved joining those lovely ladies who lunched in LaConner last week! I quite enjoyed the fields of blooms too…and all the laughter!
These are incredible shots of the tulip fields. One of these years I will really plan on driving up to Skagit to see them in person.

Thanks for sharing your lovely trip to the wonderful lines of tulips. These flowers look like our Keukenhof, a park designed to show permanently a great collection throughout the year.
Blessed lent and Eastern.

Love the ladies who lunch! And the flowers, too.

Very meaningful. Can’t not go wrong when one mentions the Lord and a verse. The Lord is Love. Great happy pictures with your friends. Nice place you were at.
Wow! All that gorgeous beauty. You girls were so lucky to share this special outing.
Like Pat those close up of the lines made me appreciate the hours put in to enjoy tulip blooming. Lovely photos, I especially liked the blue path through colour. I can see your photographs you had a fun day together.
Those tulips are mindblowing. never in my life have I seen such profusion. What colourful boots too.
