Spring Charms

07 May 2009


I was very delighted to see that the nearby mall grounds are grazed with these lovely tulips. Despite the chilly cloudy afternoon (and a little bit of drizzle), I asked the husband to park somewhere so I can click happily around them. I don't know how and when this fascination with flowers started. All I know, is now I'm longing to have these in my garden. And since I didn't inherit my mother's green thumb, may I be rich to afford a landscape artist or a gardener to maintain my lawn and yard. Blah hehehe!!!

I once told my sister that when the time comes that I will adore gardens, plants, flowers, pots and whatnots, it would signal my being "old"! Hahaha! But what really is age, anyway? If by aged, I am wiser and finer (like wine perhaps), then I am happy! I think I am more useful now that I am in my prime.

Right now, it still feels like my birthday. There have been gifts and blessings that I will not mention anymore but cherish them instead. I will always be grateful and hopeful... of brighter days ahead...

Hi Therese,

These tulips are very easy to plant and care. You just need to literally push or scatter these tubers into the soil around Fall and they will just come out in Spring time. No hassle. These are perennials too, so they will come back year after year. When I first started I had a few of them but after 5 years or so they started thinning out and the blooms were not as large as the first ones. Tulips are really great flowers to welcome spring, just lovely!

Btw, belated happy Mother's Day! You looked great in your Mom's Day photo.

ENJOY!
