There's something wonderful about having tulips on the dining room table. I love looking at them ~ before I cart them away to be photographed.
For the past few days, the temperature has been slightly above freezing and the scent of spring was in the air. Sadly, a winter storm has moved in. Back to the cold we go again.
Don’t those tulips just make your day. They are beautiful. Hang in there girl. Spring will arrive, sometime.

That is a gorgeous shot of the pink tulips! The line of white etched around the edge makes them very elegant.
I spoke with my Dad in N.Dak. yesterday, and he said it was the first day above freezing for a long time..he is getting a bit of cabin fever.

I am so so glad to see you back. I have missed my “flower girl” terribly. I love tulips, and look how beautiful!!!
p.s. just so you know, the painting I did was a beaver tail cactus. It is a native cactus here in Joshua Tree. Prickly pear do grow here, but they are not native. (and I don’t have one, since the jackrabbits ate mine!!!)

I’m not letting this spring like weather fool me into thinking spring is here. I just know there will be another dose of winter soon.
Tulips are lovely, I think I’ll get some this weekend too.

Soooo pretty. Tulips are just a happy, straightforward, colorful flower that really doesn’t need much in the way of adornment. They contain all their own beauty wonderfully. So good to see posts from you, Kate! Ihope you are well! 🙂

What a wonderful color! Since I don’t plant Tulips, I usually resort to buying a pot each spring at the nursery just to have some on my breakfast table.

Kate,
That is a particularly nice color. Nothing says “Spring” better than tulips and daffodils to me.
It is always a treat for me to drop by your blog to see what you are growing.

Lovely tulips, Kate. I have a vase of tulips on my dining room table right now – silk ones from Michael’s crafts! They’ll have to do until May!

I adore tulips and am happy to treat many of them as annuals in my garden, as well as force them for a one-time-only use. It is so worth it and of course they can be composted.
Yours is lovely–though I’d be hard-pressed to name a tulip cultivar that I don’t like.

Lovely tulips.
I may plant some; because it doesn’t freeze here I think they won’t do well the second year.
Does it freeze where you live?
