If someone were to give me a dozen of these lovely tulips, I sure wouldn't turn them down.
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment! Have a great day!
My favorite flower, tulips look good to me in any phase of their life! If I could, I would have a field of tulips in my backyard, but the local animal life digs up the bulbs and they never repeat. I had company Saturday and brought out the chair cushions to the veranda for the first time this season. Only hours later, we looked out to see a squirrel maniacally clawing and chewing a cushion into bits. It had to go in the trash......
Flowers speak to us in many ways. They symbolize joy and abundance at weddings; they convey sadness and loss at funerals; they express love and devotion at any time. From the beginning of recorded history, flowers have wordlessly expressed our emotions and thoughts.
Tulips, all colours: perfect lover, declaration of love.

Thank you for your visits and comments, they're very much appeciated. Have a great day!
“A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.”
Quote – Marianne Williamson
Happy Weekend ;-))
Paper Tulips never wither
Neither do they sweat nor shiver
But they won’t live forever
Not even in the nicest weather
So please enjoy them
NOW Or NEVER ….

This is the third picture in my current series of garden tulips. This time in full sun, these tulips were standing on a rather steep hill. This provides a lovely contrasting backdrop with the yellow flowers of the ornamental ground-cover on that hill.
Now, that ground-cover is made up of decorative strawberries which are not really visible in this picture. However, I'll describe them a little, because they are interesting. They were cultivated from two species that are not of the same genus (though both from the rose family Rosaceae). Usually, such hybrids will have a mixed set of the chromosomes of the original species and will be infertile. In this case, however, the resulting plants have full sets of both species. In this case, the hybrid has 7 sets of cromosomes: 4 sets from Fragaria × ananassa (the garden strawberry which itsef has 8 sets) and 3 from Comarum palustre (the marsh cinquefoil which has 6). The resulting plant has strawberry-like flowers and fruit, which aren't not comestible, however.
All pictures in this series will be added to my tulip folder If you are interested in some general information about tulips, there's a longer text alongside this picture of a wayside tulip and finally there are some thoughts about this series attached to the first picture in it.
some cool press today.. BUT picky me.. I had to make my correction, the image is not a composite :)
