Pretty Tulips

We braved the rain and wind to go to the Tulip Festival. We marched across muddy waters in the blistering cold, but it was all worth it.
Take a look at some of the pictures a friend took. My fav is the single broken pink tulip in the mud. Very artistic and very inspiring.

I bought a bunch of flowers. Well, I originally wanted to Mother Teresa tulips, but they sold out on those really early, so I went with my second choice, Golden Apeldoorn. Here you can see the different tulips. Hm.. the pictures on this one does not do justice to Mother Teresa tulips. Its more white with a tinge of yellow instead of yellow with white as in this phamplet. :)
My tulips are in full bloom now. I should add more ice in the water, or maybe put them into my fridge, so they will stay in bloom a tad bit longer.
A friend bought the Catherine's Radiance. I wonder how her tulips are now.

Oh, I saw assorted pastel colored tulips in a vase in Whole Foods. They were absolutely beautiful.
