This tulip looks a bit sleepy ;-)))

A shop bought tulip, taken outside, and photographed in the garden.

From my first visit this year to Hershey Gardens, PA when the tulips were blooming. HSS!

Happy Sunday

Today I have had a big problem with the computer. Just now it seems to be OK, but who knows what happens. These machines seem to have a life of their own, and you never know when the problems start!

Have a nice day my dear Flickr friends.

It's spring and the Tulips are in bloom. In fact, they are almost done for the year. Red buds are in full bloom now and dogwood trees are just starting to bloom. This image is of Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville, TN. I took it on Friday, March 26, 2021. On Saturday we had torrential downpours (over 7 inches of rain in less than 24 hours). I doubt that there are any tulip blooms left now. I'm really looking forward to the dogwood blooms. (Image edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)

It's beautiful here in Holland, MI, this time of year. The annual Tulip Time is in full swing. I took this picture 10 days ago so these tulips are probably getting past their peak. A lack of sun and time prevented me from getting back to these blossoms and shooting them in full bloom.

The pink tulip has forever remained a symbol of the birth of real feelings. Nowadays, it is customary to give a bouquet of rosebuds unopened. Many still believe that as flowers bloom, innocent feelings acquire the “taste” of burning true love and the couple’s relationship only becomes stronger, and obstacles can be overcome.

Many mistakenly believe that tulips first appeared in Holland. Actually, it is not. The homeland of these flowers is the western part of the Mediterranean and part of Central Asia (Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey). Some types of tulips grew wild in North Africa, Southern Europe and Japan.

This flower came to Europe in 1554. In Augsburg (Germany), the ambassador to the Turkish court, Busbeck, sent bulbs. He saw a beautiful flower during one of his trips around the country.

There is an interesting theory regarding the origin of the name of the flower. In 1562, the first large shipment of Turkish tulips reached Antwerp, which at the time was part of Dutch territory. Soon the supply of bulbs was put on stream. Gardeners from Europe saw similarities between the shape of the flower and the Turkish headdress. They started calling the flower "Tulipan", from "tuilbend", the Turkish word for turban. So the name of this beautiful flower appeared.

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday I spotted a few tulips on my morning walk. It's really exciting to see spring flowers again!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to post a bright flower because it's supposed to snow again today. It seems that this is the winter that doesn't want to end!

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!

The tulips are almost finished blooming in San Francisco, but I still have some images to share.

Happy weekend to all. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

HMBT!!

Mount Vernon, Washington is at the heart of Skagit Valley, famous for its tulip fields. Old image, but it must have looked the same this year, too :-)

Flickr's outage this week makes me very upset. Even now, they did not fully recover. The site is slow, a lot of things fail sporadically, and e-mail notifications are mostly not coming. [Update two days later: things are mostly back to normal. I'm trying to convince myself that the level of disruption was acceptable. Ideally (speaking as a software professional) no, pragmatically - yes. Amen.]

Tulips from the bouquet that Tom gave me.💕

Have a wonderful new week everyone!🌷💝

Thank you for your visits, kind comments, awards and faves. Always greatly appreciated.

Spring colors

Rembrandt Tulips were very popular in the 17th century, when the famous painter Rembrandt loved to paint them. Seems these flamed tulips caused a craze back then.

This year I've noticed a lot of flamed tulips in borders in Flanders, Belgium, even in parks in Bruges. this one is from my own garden: we bought white-and-red ones, but this yellow-and-red one seems to have hidden in the packet ;-)
