A magnificent flower to brighten up even the darkest of January days.
Today's Flower is a tulip that I found on a visit to Keukenhof.

Apricot Parrot is one of my favourite of all tulips, Tyra. Just seeing this photo made this frozen day seem much, much warmer. Happy New Year to you!
Ah...so very beautiful! Since tulips do not grow here, I don't know much about them. I've never seen them all curled up...magnificent!
Happy New Year, Tyra!
Underbar!
Gillar också papegojtulpanerna. Ibland har jag odlat fram egna snittulpaner.
Ha det gott

Just lovely.
When I read the title I wondered what a parrot was doing in Winter in Sweden! Your apricot parrot is beautiful. Than kyo for more superb photos. Every time I open your page I gasp.
Ååhhh...nu är tulpanerna på gång. Underbar och färgsprakande bild! I "min" butik kostade de en förmögenhet igår, men snart blir det mer normala priser. Älskar tulpaner...de andas vår!
Kram

VERY NICE MACRO SHOTS, TYRA

tulpaner är så fantastiskt! Det är verkligen vårkänslor som det smäller om det. Dock tycker jag de är lite dyra än så länge.
Jag är lite nyfiken på hur de lyckas få fram tulpaner så tidigt. Än är det ju flera månader till de blommar "naturligt".
