What’s prettier than a red tulip?

A closeup of a gorgeous red tulip that was growing in my front boulevard garden bed.

Only a few tulips came up in that area, one at a time. The first tulip was the first tulip of the season in my garden, but just as it opened someone came along and picked it. Luckily I haven’t noticed that anyone has picked any of my other flowers.

There’s still a few tulips blooming but we’re starting into some hot weather so I’m sure they’ll be gone in a day or so.

I’m so sorry that I’m late getting my Green Thumb Sunday photo up!

Well, it’s still Sunday, although there’s only about 15 minutes left of it. I’ve been working all day – internet work, and I’m sick sick sick … so I think I’m I’m just going to go and lie down. I hope to get around to your sites sometime tomorrow.

I hope my American Friends are having a nice Memorial Day weekend.

This weeks Theme is Colorful

I haven’t planted any marigolds yet, but I have purchased some. They’re sitting in their little seedling containers just waiting for me to plant them. This marigold is my neighbors.

On mother’s day her family actually did some work in the yard and they planted some flowers for her. A few days later I was out taking photos of my flowers and she insisted that I take pictures of her flowers too. Funny thing is that once I started she wanted me to stop because she decided she didn’t want me to waste my film. Try explaining to a lady that’s almost 90 what a digital camera is!

I truly must be on some kind of orange kick. I have flowers of many colors but I keep wanting to post flowers with orange in them. Even this new theme that I picked out and modified for As the Garden Grows has a lot of orange in it.

Orange is not my favorite color, but for some reason I seem to be very attracted to it in the last while. Odd. I haven’t purchased all my annuals for the garden beds yet … I wonder how many of them will have shades of orange this year?
