The big bunch of fire-colored tulips that I bought last week are still going pretty strong, despite a few little mishaps--like forgetting to put water in one of the vases and forgetting to change it in another. They drooped, they sprung back, they drooped again, I trimmed stems and added water, and it's all good!

Tulips are my favs. Did you know, that as they die, they turn wrongside out and then back again. They appear to be very still, but they quiver and they dance.
ReplyDeleteSandy, your tulips are beautiful. I love having fresh flowers in the house. I hope you have a great walk and the snow stays away.
ReplyDeletetulips are indeed very beautiful.

The coloring of that one is simply gorgeous! I have never put a tulip in a vase. . . and I grew up with a yard of tulips as a young child. . .
ReplyDeleteResilient little beauties, aren't they? Wonderful shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the combination of colours. Pretty!
ReplyDeletewell your experience with them sure shows us something about their spirit, some flowers would not have survived. I have some yellow ones that keep on keeping on and until all this snow melts.... I might have to make sure i have flowers around to hold me over!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous color, and wonderful photo. I love tulips, and don't have a single one in my garden. Shame on me!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you know what you're doing. :0) I love tulips!

ReplyDeleteLovely--such a warm color.
ReplyDeleteChange it?
ReplyDeleteOh.
That explains a lot about the short shelf life of cut flowers around here.
Thanks for being here.
