Daffodils and Tulips 2009




Spring is almost officially over here in the northern hemisphere and so I thought I should hurry up and post my photos of daffodils and tulips! Most of these flowers grow in my garden, but a few of them are in my neighbor Holly's garden. She has the most beautiful display of tulips in town! But I've been planting a lot of tulips in the hope of matching hers soon. I really endeavored to photograph the flowers in the most interesting lighting and right after rain showers--when they are their most beautiful.

You may have already seen some of these photos in Picture Perfect, Images and Words, and also as my blog banners.

I hope you will enjoy my photos and feel free to leave comments. Thanks!

  2. Thanks! Frost is beautiful too. Last autumn we had a weird frost that looked like sugar crystals and I got some lovely photos of the frost on colorful leaves as well as late bloom mums :-)

  4. I think I saw this variety had just appeared in our garden nurseries this year. Now I can't remember if I got those to plant or my favourite deep red ones. I have at least another month to find out. I don't know why I really bother, it is hard to get a good flower as is not cold enough here for them, even though I put the bulbs in the fridge for a couple of weeks beforehand. But I always plant at least one tub of bulbs to go by my front door.
