The Basat family from Oswego, foreground, enjoys the colorful backdrop of the more than 10,000 tulips Sunday, in the Sunken Garden at Phillips Park in Aurora. By mid-May, each year, the tulips are removed and replaced with flowering annuals for the Garden’s Summer display. The Sunken Garden was originally designed and developed by former Park superintendent Ray C. Moses in the 1930s. He laid out the design, relying on his vast knowledge of formal gardens, passed on to him by his father, George, a former gardener at The Estates of English Nobility, who had preceded him as the Park superintendent.Jason Crane/The Voice
