TODAY'S FLOWERS, I Heart Macro, Nature notes & Floral Friday - red and gold


Our first hot day this spring
and tomorrow is going to be hotter
with burning gale force N.winds off the desert

I hasten to post my already diminishing spring flowers

the Iceland Poppies are on their last legs


as are quite a few Tulips
although I had quite a brave showing this year


this post is beginning to look like a Spanish flag
with all this red and gold


more of the parrot tulips I showed you last year
with their needle sharp fringes


Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful serene Sunday.

    Your parrot tulips are gorgeous! I can't succeed in growing regular tulips because of the squirrels and the voles.

    Lovely colourful garden. My tulips are just getting started, but have had a hard time with my new pup running all over them. Nice to see yours.
