Flower bulb labyrinth at Cornell

The flower bulb labyrinth created by Dr. Bill Miller’s herbaceous perennial course students last fall is looking good this spring.

The labyrinth is planted with a mix of daffodils, tulips and grape hyacinth to provide a relatively long bloom season for the spring-flowering bulbs.

Of course, the whole idea is to follow the winding path through the flowers to the center, then back out again. This high angle image (used with permission) was shot by Bob Chiang, Landmark Images, using a camera he mounts on a 30-foot pole. Here are more images Bob shot of the construction last fall and the flowering labyrinth this spring.

And here’s a youngster skipping her way to the center.
