Instructions

Last November, for the first time in my life, I planted tulip bulbs. After long winter months the flowery magic revealed itself in April. It is an exciting process to watch a picture label on the bag of tulip bulbs transform into tangible beauty. All I needed was a little bit of desire, a little bit of a green thumb. The rest is a photograph.

Tulip bulbs

What was your inspiration?

My inspiration came from imagining how beautiful it would be having an uplifting colors of flowers in my front yard.

What are you most proud of?

Last November, for the first time in my life, I planted tulip bulbs. After long winter months the flowery magic revealed itself in April. It was an exciting process to watch a picture label on the bag of tulip bulbs transform into tangible beauty. It reminds me of the saying that there is a season for everything, and that everything happens in due time.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

All you need is a bag of tulip bulbs from your local gardening store (with planting instructions label attached), a green thumb, and faith.

My squirrels don't dig up mine - they just nip off the buds and leave them lying on the ground. Grrrr. I tried mothballs, but that didn't deter them.

Thank you for the comment, Mac4. The light condition caught my attention as well. The sun was shining right inside the tulips creating this beautiful effect, and I happened to be in my front yard at the right moment with the camera. :-)
