I am really feeling the absence of colour in my flower garden at the moment, so I'm pulling-out some fotos from a couple of years ago to remind me how beautiful tulips can truly be. These are fotos taken in a big flower park here in Holland. Every time I visit this park, I sort of just walk around sort of in a daze, with my eyeballs drying-out on my chest. I some use these on my desktop from time to time.
Oh wow! I love tulips and rarely see them around here for some reason..Might have to take to growing some of my own!
beautiful Beautiful tulips, Sjoerd! I love them, but they do not do well in West Texas. I was told, our Winters are too warm, so they burn up a lot of energy, thinking it's Spring and then, when it is finally Spring, there's not enough energy left to bloom. If I plant them, they'll last a season, or two, but then disappear. And the wind in Spring is so severe, it rips them up a lot of the time, so I generally don't plant tulips. Daffodils do very well here, so I plant a lot of those.
So many superlatives for these photos and so little time. Tulips will be beautiful forever. Thanks for posting these fantastic photos Sjoerd.
Thanks alot for your nice comments. Some tulips are such lovely things. I feel better already having seen them again. Sorry to hear that they don't do so well in your neck 'o the woods, WTD. I expect you'd have to dig them up and save them if you wanted to keep them for many years, but that's alot of extra work. I have dug them up as well as dahlias and the like...but now with two plots, I really do not have the time to do that anymore.
Wow Those light pink and white ones are to die for, gosh and then there are the orange,yellow crimson ones, Ooh then there is the yellow, the white, the fiery ones. Absolutely fantastic. :-D
Wow I like those orange, white, yellow ones. How pretty. Just the color we need in our yards. Thanks for sharing.
