What a joy to know this Dutch flower is now found globally in gardens.
The bulbs were gifted by the Dutch to nations of their choice as royal gestures.
The one on our table is so warm in colours. All we need now is a warm outdoors and it is to come today.
beautiful tulips, and so glad you are getting warm weather
ReplyDeleteTulips are wonderful, and must be appreciated for the short time we hae them in our gardens.
ReplyDeleteI love the tulips that have graced our gardens and fields this past month. Your pictures of the lovely tulips are so lovely, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteDear Heidrun, thank you for sharing your tulips and your history with them! I read a fine book once about Holland and tulips and the tulip wars, but I can't remember its title! Peace.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous. You have wonderful memories about tulips all through your life.
ReplyDeleteI love those bright orange colours! I often choose that exact colour when buying tulips. So pretty! Nice to see you blogging. Yes, spring is finally here.
ReplyDeleteMy daffodils are up - all leaves and no flowers. I wonder what happened this year? Oh well....
Beautiful, Heidrun! Tulips are my favorite too.
