orange tulips

Two bunches of orange tulips by my desk this weekend. I got them on sale Friday where they had tons to choose from and I have a third bunch that is purple. I couldn't fit them all in one vase so decided to divide by colors. I chose the greenest buds I could find knowing they last longer if you get them green... Spring is here and that means hydroponic forced green house tulips from Virginia may soon be missing from my grocery store. That makes me sad but the garden is waking up so I will have my own flowers blooming very soon after the last snow Sunday.
