Beautiful Fringed Tulip
You’re probably starting to think that most of my tulips are orange, aren’t you?
Honest, I have tulips in many different colours. It’s just that the orange ones seem to interest me the most this year. I love the fringed tulips. As you can see in this closeup they are very ornate and have a lot of flare, or Zing. Whatever you want to call it, they give the garden a little something extra and I just love them.
Late yesterday afternoon I decided to do some work in my front garden. That’s where I found this beauty.
The front garden has been pruned and tidied up now. Hopefully I’ll feel up to finishing the back garden sometime later today. I really need to get the flower beds in the back yard finished.
BTW this photo, and the one I’m using on Tricia’s Musings is straight off the camera. No cropping, no adjusting color - just as is. Some people have been asking what kind of camera I’m using, it’s a Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 7.2MP

What an unusual tulip, but as always the photography is just stunning. You inspire me to go and vary the range of tulips in my garden. Thankyou.

This is a gorgeous picture, so vibrant or fiery! I usually don’t care so much for the color of orange, but in flowers it’s just magnificent!

I’ve never seen the fringed tulips before this year, on blogs, of course! Beautiful!

Such beautiful shades of orange, Tricia! I’ll have to look for the fringed tulips this Fall for planting. Isn’t it fun to find something so beautiful when least expected?!?
Have a great day!

What a gorgeous close up of the tulip. I’m always trying to get shots like that. Very often I wonder what neighbours and passer bys think of me while in in unusual positions with a camera in my hand.

Gorgeous! I tend to prefer the cooler colors, but that photo makes me start to wonder where orange would fit in.
