Tulip Portrait

Tulip dancing in the wind, laughing in the sun, shaking at the ecstasy of it all – the thrill of a Spring day in May.

Tiny Orange Tulips

Tulip in Stripes

These sweet tulips pop out of the ground near my front door every May, but I have no recollection of planting tulip bulbs there nor do I have any idea what kind of tulips they might be.

Tiny Tulips

They are only about 6 inches high and the tulip bloom itself is only about 1 inch in diameter. I love how the orange is fringed with the green. They are a dynamite garden addition in a rather small package.

Trifecta

Trifecta II

While I was in Illinois this last week attending to my mother’s care – it was a middle-of-the-night phone call from the hospital kind of trip – my Spring bulbs appeared in all corners of the yard. They were a happy sight when I pulled into my driveway, nodding their ‘hellos’.

(And good news on all fronts – my mother is quite a bit better, too.)

Glory-of-the-Snow

Glory-of-the-Snow

The first bit of color popped up in my perennial garden this weekend, though it isn’t truly a perennial. It is the little one-inch Glory-in-the-Snow, a very early Spring bulb, and a member of the Lily family.

Glory-of-the-Snow Patch

The little mounds of flowers looks a mite lonely surrounded by all of the other dormant plants in the large bed.
