After weather in the 80s all week, we had a violent storm blow through, leaving us with highs in the 50s. The storm was expected, but it wasn't til 15 minutes before the storm started that I realized the wind and rain would wipe out most of our tulips!
I suggested that the kids pick the tulips from their gardens, and we quickly had a house filled with flowers!
The white tulips were from Oob's garden.
The orange and yellow were from Choclo's.
The multi colored bunch are from Zorg.
The pink stripey ones are mine.
The big bunch of dandelions were a gift from Choclo! I've always thought that if dandelions were hard to grow, they'd be expensive. They are a lovely flower with intricate leaves and an interesting seed head - and edible, to boot!
Klenda came up with this stunning arrangement using tulips and double daffodils from her garden, augmented with some extra white tulips from Oob (Oob planted tons of tulips).
I like the way she incorporated leaves into her design. She has a
definite flair for art!
These purple ones are from my cutting garden. They were just opening, so they probably could have weathered the storm, but purple is the Emperor's favorite color. I tucked in a bit of white lilac for fragrance.
