 The public display of millions of tulips is cancelled again this year, due to covid. We can't visit again his year, but we can be all take a virtual video tour. Here's the video story. Millions of bulbs are planted each October and the gardens are usually open only for a couple of months in spring. Video !ink and the backstory. https://youtu.be/SXCcdoOZJ0Q   The bulbs must winter over in the ground in order to bloom. Here is another link to an outstanding video. https://youtu.be/RQqGmmxSZjY .  The exhibit is not all tulips. 

 We are not familiar with hedgehogs.  All we knew was that they were cute, shy nocturnal animals that were seldom seen. We had seen Harry shuffling around the garden at night, in the dark, a couple of times. He recently was wandering around during the day, was not shy and easily approached. Cute little bugger. Getting up close and personal. Harry wandered around the garden, stopped by the Billabong for a drink, went through the hedge and then off through a neighbour's garden.
