It seems like a long tome ago that I was hopefully planting spring bulbs in the garden. Looking back it was in early October, so thinking about it there's been a very harsh winter in between, and after so long of the garden being white over it makes the sight of these first tulips in flower all the sweeter.
I love tulips. They're definitely my all time favourite flower and one of the advantages of getting married in March was that I could have them as part of our wedding flowers too. Had we got married this year though I think we may have struggled a bit. Their simplicity combined with the elegant shape of the flowers wins me over every time.
When we first bought our house with a garden tulips were one of the things I was most looking forward to growing – how wonderful therefore to see them finally in flower. I'm taking as a good omen the fact that the first to flower are the same colour as those I had at our wedding!
Funny I posted about tulips today too – not mine ‘though – yours are lovely!
How funny! It must be a sign of spring – an increase in the number of blog posts about tulips!
