What I love most
About tulip bulbs,
Is the surprise
In stock…
Some come out
Flashy round,
Ordinary and
Extraordinary
Others take you
Completely by
Surprise…
Pointy, green
And ornamented
With pink, frilly
Edges, giving it
A rare crispy
Ethereal quality!
Peeping out in May…

Congratulations on growing your very own tulips! 😀 It’s fun to see them grow, isn’t it? I usually buy a bag of “surprise bulbs”, so I don’t know in advance which kind and colors I’ll get.
I’ve been doing this for years but it’s my first at surprise packages which I had no idea I had bought!
It surely is loads of fun to see the first leaves of spring popping out after a cold and long winter.
I appreciate this warm feedback, it gives blogging a special touch 🙂
Tulips are my favorite but I’ve been moving towards smaller delicate flowers and the woody look but this is perfect, two-tone green. Next year I’ll try growing them eek.
I find, delicate flowers exquisite too, but difficult to grow, in my experience.
Thanks for appreciating the beauty of this tulip and letting me know 🙂
Gorgeous! I’m in love with these beautiful colors and precious image.
Thanks so much, I appreciate the feedback! In the beginning I thought, gosh it’s never going to get a “real” color but slowly grew very fond of it’s rarity and complex range of subtle colors 🙂
I can see why they were once so valuable and the bulbs were used as currency!
I have to check Wikipedia on that one and refresh my limited knowledge 🙂
Never knew about it, thanks for the info and compliment
