Tulips from Canada
The red and white of the Canadian flag is a familiar sight during remembrance ceremonies at the CWGC’s Brookwood Cemetery, in Surrey, and now there will also be a seasonal reminder.
The Canadian High Commission in London has donated hundreds of special sesquicentenary commemorative tulip bulbs for planting at Brookwood.
As part of Canada’s 150th anniversary this year, Dutch growers have helped develop a new tulip – the Canada 150 – which blossoms with white leaves and red flames, looking remarkably similar to the country’s maple leaf flag.
