Bouquet

These orange tulips that come up in my garden ruin my purple, pink, and white colour scheme. I swear they were a mislabelled batch of bulbs I picked up from somewhere, because I would never have willingly planted orange tulips in my carefully crafted garden. Anyway, they are still beautiful flowers, so I usually cut them as soon as they bloom and have a nice display in my kitchen for a few days.

So I guess I have known for a while that orange is the Dutch colour -- I just never thought about it in quite that way before, but I'm glad we can both enjoy the tulips (now that they are out of my garden).; May 19, 2011, 2:17:00 PM
