We can’t be fragrant without water

We can’t be sunny without water

We will be wilted without water

We will become the stone without water

How could you decorate the capital of  maple leaf at that time?

There was almost 3.000.000 bulbs of tulips sent every year from Holland to Ottawa for this event

The ones that drawn on this kind of ”pillar” are just a kind of decoration. Some artists drawn pictures relating to tulips.
