Last week, as I prepared for the Easter weekend, I indulged myself once again and bought some flowers.
These tulips were tightly closed but I could see a hint of green mixed in with the pink petals.
They were irresistible.
I could tell that the flowers were going to be frilly, and before I knew it I had put two bunches in my cart.
I did a bit of research on double tulips and read that they are sometimes referred to as peony tulips. I can certainly see why. These remind me of the pink peonies that grace my garden around the beginning of July… am I dreaming? Umm, yes. But what a wonderful dream.
A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone.
It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose.
It doesn’t have to.
It is different.
And there’s room in the garden for every flower”

Barb,
I don’t think I have ever seen Peony Tulips They are beautiful and so is your photography!
I like the quote you ended with.
Oh, Barb, they are just gorgeous!! Well, I must say, they look perfect on your ? “Hoosier” cabinet!! The white background is just perfect for them. I too moved to WP late last winter and mostly like it – such a learning curve. Yours looks lovely!!

These are so beautiful – I love tulips, and all flowers, when the green travels through from the stem into the flower blossom itself… beautiful photos of beautiful flowers…
Beautiful images. The white and gentle pink brightened my morning!
Your edits on the tulips are stunning! You are an outstanding photographer.

I love these tulips, they look like a different flower when they’ve fully opened, gorgeous!
Beautiful flowers and colors! Never knew that tulips could be of this color: Usually they are very bright, red or yellow.
