Tulips

One day last week, in-between rain showers, I went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and the tulips were in bloom. The tulips were bright and colorful – oh so many colors! – and all delightful. I didn’t take enough photos.

Fringed tulips!

In Matthew 6 it says “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.”

As I “tiptoed through the tulips” in the arboretum I thought about the beautiful bouquet of tulips I received just a few weeks prior…and how gorgeous the “non-descript” white tulips were also.

The gift of a bouquet.

Such beauty, such wonder, such intricacies in one specific specie of flower…and there are so many different species! It’s truly amazing.

  1. Tulips always help me believe that spring is really arriving.

  2. Valerie, So enjoy your photos, writings and subject matters!
    The Arboretum is one of my very places to be in Minnesota. You really did capture the beauty of these tulips! I am taking two friends there mid-June and hope there are other flowers blooming. Anytime of the year you are there, beauty is everywhere!

    1. Yes! Beauty is everywhere!
      There will be flowers blooming in June when you go to the arboretum. Have fun! I know you enjoy your flowers. 😉
