Those Head Turning Tulips

The alternate world of flowers is sacred for me, so much so that my greenhouse apartment has several flowering plants and one tangerine plant which quite literally is growing forever. I am also trying to overhaul these gloomy days with photographs I took from Canada Blooms. Get prints and put them on the walls. I am told flower power is an effective way to trigger sensory experiences. And with my blocked nose, I see no reason why I should not take full advantage of what my camera has captured.

And to get an abundance of long stemmed TULIPS in radiant-reds, titanium-whites, fiery-oranges, mellow-yellows and plum-purples…I did not have to travel far, thanks to the gratitude of the Dutch to Canada in return for sheltering one of their Princesses’ during the Second World War.

History apart, Tulips were the top performers at the Canada Blooms this year. And here’s why!IMG_6452
