So where was THIS when it was -30C and snowing, LOL? Funny, I still crave bright colours, despite the fact that our weather is warming up. Yes, I know there are already "too many" images of Tulip centres on Flickr - but, while some people hate them, I love them, ha! A beautiful day today, and I went on another walk at 12 Mile Coulee. Wanted to check out the Lichens and early spring wildflowers again. It's a good workout, too - which I definitely need : )

An unusual (to me, at least) Tulip in a friend's garden. I love the pointed tips of the petals and the pink "brushstroke" pattern.

Bought a small bunch of these gorgeous yellow Tulips from Safeway the other day. The petals are more pointed than on other Tulips that I have bought, so I look forward to seeing what they look like when open.

Thank you again, Safeway! There were two Tulips like this one and two plainer, brighter pink ones, in the bunch I bought today.

Ooops... another tulip photo kind of slipped in there, LOL! The orange paintbrush strokes still fascinate me.
