    You are early for Today's Flower. Thanks for visiting our blog. Indeed the costal road at eastern part of Taiwan, and most of the cross-island mountain roads are often brocken when the Typhoon passing by.

    Beautiful tulips. I hope you replant, to be without flowers is sad. I certainly hope your weather is better this next season.

    Love those Anemones! So sad what heat and lack of rain did to your plants. I hope you get enough rain to bring Spring forth.

    Lovely to see those tulips in other parts of the world too. Although the tulip originally comes from Turkey, we grow them in all colours and sizes here in Holland.

    The tulip bed is gorgeous Arija. I love the stonewalk. The small-time gardener that I am, I feel ecstatic when I see a flower bloom. I can only imagine the joy you must feel to see the garden bursting in color. I hope the weather tames itself and you get your strength back so you can plant to your heart's content.

    Arija,
    the Iceland Pappies dancing with the ranunculi, the tulips so gayly greeting, such heartwarming beauty,
    and you think this is all gone, no hope? My heart goes out to you and all who suffer from this unrelenting heat.

    The tulips are magnificent but I love the combination of the poppies and the ranunculus..
    How about planting in pots rather than the ground? Would that work?

    Wonderful series photos of colorful and gorgeous flowers. Poppies are so beatufriul as well as those colorful tulips which always look like so elegant. I've never seen anemones in private which flowers are so delicate and beautiful. Lovely spring memories, indeed!
