There's a blue vase bursting with yellow tulips on my kitchen counter right now! Sadly, my species tulips (is that what those pink blooms are? the leaves look a bit different) aren't out yet, but soon. Thanks for the cheer!
Of course they are. Feeling foolish now. I think perhaps it's the spikiness and the angle -- always good to see something familiar anew though, so thanks again.
They aren't a typical shape for crocuses and I do have some miniature tulips that look very like them, coming up later in the season, planted into a rock wall.
Lucille, seeing your bright flowers, inside and out was cheering today. Our deep freeze winter continues, but at least today the sun was out and the wind gave it a rest.
Media weather forecasters tell me that tomorrow will be snowy, and much colder. I keep thinking that those folks in Boston must be made of much stronger stuff than I am.

ReplyDeleteThose are crocuses and no, there aren't any tulips showing in my garden yet either.

DeleteLovely images again, Lucille.
ReplyDeleteI shall buy lots of Tulips when I get back from my short break.
