Year 40, day 163

OK, so, back to the tulips again. Last one, I promise...

(But LOOK at them, all open and brash!)

I have an ongoing debate with my mother-in-law regarding plants that are spectacular for only a few weeks of the year. I love them; she tends to wonder if they're worth the space. I'm alllll about seasonal change, and a new thing along in a minute, and oops you missed it, wait till next year ... and bulbs are the embodiment of that.
