In Spring, tulips follow daffodils. To my mind, daffodils are hearty, cheerful, and outgoing. Tulips are a more serious flower, slightly aloof in their beauty. Grouped together, they stand tall as they begin to open, the flowers held tight in the cold, patiently awaiting a warmer day. In my backyard, I have some pink tulips of a variety called “emperor.” It always seems like a fitting name for these shy and seemingly reserved flowers.
All over town, the tulips have emerged as we march ourselves toward warmer days. I am ready!
