tulips

It's amazing to me how something as ugly as a bulb can produce such beautiful flowers.
Some of these we inherited when we moved in, but most we planted. 
H loves the variety. She's a flower princess.

I must confess: I covet my neighbor's yard full of tulips. 
Big bright brushstrokes of colored petals. 
It's truly amazing.

But she's had a lifetime of tulip collecting. 
I've only just begun.
