Lonely tulips still bring joy

The iconic rows of tulips at Tesselaar.

This year’s Tesselaar Tulip Festival might not be going ahead, but that hasn’t stopped the tulips from blooming and bringing plenty of beauty with them.

Star Mail photographer Stewart Chambers was fortunate enough to go capture pictures of the tulips for our readers to enjoy.

The tulip festival typically runs annually from September to October and attracts over 100,000 visitors.

It was cancelled this year, for the first time in its 67 year history, due to Covid-19.
