My friend Dali and I spent the morning and early afternoon at the zoo then on the way out to Rodeo Beach we stopped by the Windmill to see if the flowers were in bloom. The tulips were a bit beat up from all the rain we’ve had, but beautiful none-the-less! The yellow tulips are just starting to bloom so I’ll have to go back really soon!

“The Dutch windmill was bult near the northwest corner of Golden Gate Park in 1903. Its original purpose was to pump water from an underground source for irrigating the park, but now it is no longer in use….The garden was named after the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina, and tulp bulbs are donated each year by the Dutch Bulb Growers’ Association.” DK Eyewitness Travel San Francisco & Norther California
