Did you know........Ottawa is the tulip capital of Canada?

Tulip bulbs are presented every year to Ottawa by the Royal Family of the Netherlands. Queen Beatrix was born in Ottawa during WW2. So she would not be born a Canadian citizen the wing of the hospital in which she was born was deemed diplomatically to be part of the Netherlands (ala peanut butter sandwiches I guess LOL) thus she was born a Dutch citizen!!! In thanks, thousands of tulip bulbs were presented to the city and subsequently each year since........
