The scene of tulips spreading all over in front of the windmill, swaying in the spring breeze, is truly photogenic. Various colors of red, pink, yellow, purple, and orange are arranged in beautiful lines.

Pretty violas blooming under the tulips support the gorgeous scenery.

Underneath the tulips, the pretty violas blooming daintily support this gorgeous flower garden in a modest manner. Not only do they add color to the flower garden in front of the windmill during the winter when flowers are scarce, but they also fill in the blank space at the base of the tulips after they bloom in the spring, further enhancing the beauty of the entire flower garden.
