TODAY'S FLOWERS - The Wonder of the First Tulips


A couple of weeks ago I promised you tulips
well, here are a few of the first to come out
a heap of bi-colour tulips


enough to set the garden on fire, tulips with teeth???


these have a perfect cup shape


and a little floral background as well


If I can make it, the sequel will follow next Sunday.

    Beautiful pictures Arija.
    We still have a long wait, before we can see the tulips again here.
    The second picture is my favorite.
    Happy weekend, Irma

    The tulips are so pretty. I will have to wait for several more months to see them here.

    Don't think I've ever seen tulips with teeth. They are all so bright and cheery. Getting down right cold here as the leaves drop.

    Beautiful captures of these lovely tulips Arija!
    In answer to your question about my touch-me-nots : no they are not poisonous. The name refers to the explosive dehiscence of the seed capsules. The mature capsules burst, sending seeds up to several meters away.
