It has been cold and snowy here this past week, and we are supposed to get more snow this weekend. We've had such a mild winter this year, and are in a pretty severe drought, so we'll take all the snow we can get.
But that doesn't mean I am not looking forward to spring!
I bought some tulips this week that were not even close to opening. I like to buy my flowers 'green' so I can enjoy their full bloom.
Two of them started to open up today. I couldn't have arranged them any better if I would have tried.
I love yellow tulips.

Great minds think alike! I love to buy tulips in the winter to brighten up the family room. I also look for the tightest buds so they last longer (usually 7-10 days) and a different color each time. For variety I also switch to Astromelia which last for 2 weeks, usually in a deep red if they have them. For color in the room, which is gray carpet, off-white walls, beige upholstry and a fieldstone fireplace, I use colorful throw pillows and a small colorful rug in front of the couch. Even our two cats are neutral colors! (See my blog for photos of them.)
