As we move deeper into spring, more and more flowers are popping up in the garden of my neighbor, fellow photographer Cindy Dyer. It is a fun adventure to walk over to the garden every few days to see what new bits of beauty have sprung forth out of the earth.
One of my favorites that I look forward to seeing each spring is the Lady Jane tulip (Tulipa clusiana var. ‘Lady Jane’), featured in the first photo below. It is a small tulip with pointed petals and a delicate pink and white coloration.
The red tulips are a bit more traditional in terms of their shape and coloration. I love to explore them from all angles and their bright, cheery color is a joy to behold.
Some more tulip buds are beginning to mature and it looks like there may be yellow tulips next. Spring is such a beautiful season.

These are stunning, Mike!
Lovely photos, Mike.
Beautiful work! 🙂
Beautiful photos Mike. I love to see Spring flowers each year- tulips are a deep favorite. Thank You!
Absolutely Beautiful! Please make note cards with these images!!!!
Nice tulips and beautiful colors.
Very lovely spring colors and shapes. I can’t wait until spring is really here to stay where I am so we can enjoy lovely blooms like this. (By the way, I believe I sent your neighbor’s husband a few tubes of “bacon cheese” from Norway, as a random act when I saw him post on Instagram about missing his chemical foodstuff “fix”. It is a small world, it seems.)
Wow. I’ll check with him–it really is a small world. Cindy and her husband are really close friends. During the earliest days of COVID lockdown the three of us formed our own little pod and did a lot of things together. 🙂
Very Nice Mike! Can not wait till our gardens start to bloom! Colorful flowers & a wide variety of insects!
