When daffodils begin to peer,
With heigh! the doxy over the dale,
Why, then comes in the sweet o’ the year;
For the red blood reigns in the winter’s pale.

This lovely tulip may not be the flower of choice for Shakespeare, but I look forward to her return, as the lovely season of Spring gets ever closer!

Sunlight and colors. Your photo is so pretty, I think I might get some tulips today.
Thank you so much! Yes, I love winter, as it produces interesting photography, but I’m always ready for that burst of colors that is Spring! Enjoy your tulips!!
Tulips! One of my three most favourite flowers
Of course, that begs the question: which are the other two?
Roses and lilac, in no particular order 🙂
All good choices!
