    Such clear, bright colors. I’ve always enjoyed tulip leaves, too: so structural.

    Tulip time. I remember we always had our picture taken in front of the tulips in our Sunday best.

    I like those tulip colors and shapes! Maybe I should go and check on the tulips at Sayen Gardens, after it stops raining.

    Lovely! This is such an inspiring time of year. I am just back from Scotland and about to explore Chanticleer again. Can’t wait 💐💖🌷

    Lovely! I’m envious. Spring flowers are about 3 weeks late here — barely out of the ground.

    It’s too hot here to grow tulips, though one can put the bulbs in the fridge. I’ve just never tried that. My mother loved tulips; I always sent her a bouquet on her birthday. Yours are so lovely, Eliza!

    The tulips have such a lovely softness. I’ve always admired mascara ‘Valerie Finnis’ but it has never been happy here, sadly – the sky blue color is so pretty.

    I know you are jumping for joy for the flowers…the tulips are beautiful. Love the colors. Do they return in the garden?

      Thank you. Yes, I am enjoying the bounty. 🙂 This is the second year for the tulips and it appears secondary bulbs have formed offering smaller flowers. I picked varieties that were stated to be reliably perennial. Half of this bunch when bought were forced inside and placed out last fall, and they have also performed well… a happy surprise!

    Lovely spring colors! I hope your temperatures are cool enough to allow you to enjoy them for awhile.

      Thank you, Kris! Cool with lots of rain for the past couple of weeks, so yes, they are lasting. When the sun finally comes out this weekend and temps rise, we’ll be galloping forward again. With all the rain and a bit of warmth, I won’t be able to keep up!

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pink tulip before. It’s just as lovely as the other colours.

      Thank you, Vicki. Melbourne is probably too warm for tulips, I expect. Holland has bred them in nearly every color, but true-blue. 🙂

    How I LOVE the tulips!! We had some at one point, but they’ve all gone away, and I just haven’t planted any more. That means, I can enjoy yours vicariously!
