Hyogo Flower Park

We went to the Hyogo-ken Flower Park about an hour West of here.  The thousands and thousands of tulips were just gorgeous--some 460 varieties set out in the ground or in pots.  There was not one weed to be seen in the entire place!  Many of the tulips were planted with pansies.  My garden won't ever look like this.  Spring has come to Kobe. 








This is called a sausage tree--very odd fruit.
