One of the most flamboyant tulips that grows in my garden is the Texas Flame tulip. The blossom opens up wide to expose a blend of yellows, oranges and red. I just wish these flowers would last longer. They’re just about blown now.
Bring on Spring!
Enough with snow and frigid weather already! Geesh!
Are you as tired of winter as I am? It’s -23 Celsius with the wind chill here in Toronto today. That’s -8 F if you don’t know the metric system. Cold huh?
It’s no wonder that I decided to post a photo of a lovely tulip that I grew in my garden last year.
I couldn’t help taking tons of photos of these tulips last year. The fiery orange just captured me and drew me in. Every time I visited my garden with camera in hand I was sure to photograph this tulip. Isn’t it lovely? Doesn’t it draw you in as well?
Bright orange of Spring
I believe this tulips name is Toronto, which is fitting since that’s where it’s growing.
Isn’t it just like a sunset? The shades of orange and yellow are so vivid.
Crocosmia Lucifer
This is a gorgeous plant that I grow in my small city garden. It’s called Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’. It’s a vibrant red with orange and flame yellow undertones. I find red flowers the hardest to photograph. If anyone has any tips for me I’d appreciate hearing them.
