This is a hybrid tulip called Texas Flame. It’s also a fringed tulip – not the fringes on each petal? It’s quite lovely even when partially closed as in this photo. When the flower opens you can see an array of yellows, orange and red colors on the inner petals.
It’s just lovely.
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.
A few years ago I made this Inukshuk statue myself with stones that I’d gathered from my old cottage area. I grew up in Ottawa and spent a lot of time at our cottage in the Ottawa Valley. I always loved the stone cuttings along the highway.
When my parents passed away I knew I wouldn’t get back to that area very often so I wanted something to remind me of my past and childhood … that’s why I gathered the stones for my garden. Once I got the stones home I had to decide what to do with them. It didn’t take me too long to decide to make this Inuit welcome statue.
There’s nothing sweeter than the look of love that a puppy gives you. Loving licks, sitting on your foot or leaning on your leg … all of those things tell you that you are the most important thing in your puppies life.
This photo was taken this past Monday after we came back from the groomer. It was her first visit to the groomer and she did well. She’s wearing a Petsmart red bandanna that was given to her after her successful grooming session.
This has been a Photohunter Saturday post with the theme being Important.
BTW When I looked at this photo published in this post I realized that her head, in real life, is smaller than this photo! She’s still tiny.
