Gorgeous colors & tonal range in the nicely-composed closeup crop, but there’s quite some cognitive dissonance in seeing these petals when it’s sere and in the ‘teens outside. We put a vase full of red ones in our guest bedroom for our weekend visitors, which merely looked lovely, but the blog as a venue changes my perspective …
No cognitive dissonant tulips were in Bowie Town. The only color we’ve got is from leftover shaggy ornamental cauliflowers and even shaggier pansies. The tulips and daffodils do seem to be pushing their way up out of the ground, though.
Tulips and daffies pushing their way up. I am so jealous, rakkity. The only color at Torroemore (other than Torroemore itself) is an unappealling sort of grayish white — sky, lake, yard, avenue. I’d give my right arm for a touch of green. Well, maybe not my right arm, but somethng important and useful.

This feels like the Martha Stewart section of the blog, but Home Depot sells seven spouted bulbs in a glass vase for $9.99 .
Not what I am looking for. My friend, Pat Scott, sent me a huge basket of stuff which is beginning to bloom. It is very nice. Cheery, actually. But I want green peeking through the ground or beginning to show on trees. I must be more patient. Or move.

PS Why did you change the first tulip picture and eliminate the second one?

I liked the idea of the same gray backgrounded tulip, but I never thought the two together looked so hot. Then Homefront-LifeOnHold-Wife_WaitingPatiently_but_despondently_for_her_Knight-in-Green-Truck said it was boring. That sealed it.
I hate to tell you this, but you have two more months of winter to look forward to. About the time you have ice out, our tomatoes will be jumping off the vines.

What made the little tulip-of-light in the just-right-of-center background, d’y’s’pose?
