Tulips at the Smithsonian Castle in Washington DC

I'll search for information about the Enid A. Haupt Garden and its tulips.

Colorful tulips bloom in the formal parterre garden with the majestic red sandstone Smithsonian Castle creating a striking Gothic backdrop. The parterre, which serves as the centerpiece of the Enid A. Haupt Garden, features "carefully manicured" plantings arranged in "symmetrical patterns that are redesigned every few seasons" with motifs like "diamonds, fleurs-de-lis, scallops, and swags." The "Victorian Parterre" becomes particularly vibrant in spring when loaded with tulips, pansies, and hyacinths that bring a burst of color to this hidden oasis on the National Mall. This 4.2-acre garden provides visitors with a tranquil retreat from the bustle of Washington DC while showcasing the perfect marriage of formal garden design and historic architecture.
