Not one of Flora's brilliant race
A form more perfect can display;
Art could not feign more simple grace
Nor Nature take a line away.

- James Montgomery, On Planting a Tulip
Nothing adds more elegance to a room than a large clear vase of tulips. Whether you fancy the pinkest pink or a creamy ivory, tulips gracefully bend and arc on their green stems. They delight us with their simplicity and amaze us with their beauty.
This Friday, indulge in a bunch of fresh tulips and you'll be cheerful all weekend long.

Pink Frenchie,
ReplyDeleteAs someone who grew up in a warm climate, I cherished seeing tulips in on yearly trips to NYC. I remember how gorgeous they were in front of Rockefeller Center. I love them also in art prints. As an art historian, you are probably well versed in the Tulip Wars.
A FAV place to indulge my passion for tulips is the Arboretum in Dallas. No need to fly to the Netherlands, Pink Frenchie.
ReplyDeleteA feast for the eye -- wandering through the grounds of the sixty-six acre DeGolyer estate.
Spectacular at "tuliptime" in the spring!
