I took this photo the other day when we were in the garden shop, where tulips of all different colors were offered for sale. I couldn’t believe how bright red the tulips in this bunch were. Click on the image to enlarge.

White Daffodil with a Golden Cup
Now showing on the patio. I’m not sure I can remember the name of this variety, but I think it’s narcissus. Click image to enlarge.
Shadow Stargazer
Last week, we bought a potted Asian “stargazer” lily. The flowers started opening this week. The morning light from the window over the staircase was at a great angle to get this shadowed effect.

Blue Hyacinth Close-Up
Last week, I put up a tight shot of a pink hyacinth, “up close and personal.” This week, the blue hyacinth takes center stage. I still wish you could smell the beautiful fragrance of these flowers. Click on the image to enlarge.
After a Gentle Rain
While most of the east is enjoying the biggest blizzards in 90 years (so much for that global warming crap), we had a gentle rain last night which this Christmas cactus seemed to enjoy. Click on Damsel’s image to enlarge.
The Daffodils Are Blooming
There are about a dozen of white and yellow daffodils blooming on the patio this week. Click on the image to enlarge.
Hyacinth – Up Close and Personal
I have a potted hyacinth growing on the coffee table in the living room. When the light gets just right as it comes in through the window over the staircase, I can sometimes get a nice lighting effect. It’s too bad you can’t smell the nice fragrance these flowers have.
