IAVOM - In A Vase on Monday - Antoinette Tulips

 

A few weeks ago, I brought some tulip bulbs into the house from the cold confines of the garage and placed them on a bed of rock and water. They began to grow almost immediately, and this week they bloomed. They are a short variety of tulip called Antoinette. As they mature, they will lose their vibrant yellow color and become creamy. They are delightful to see as we gather at the kitchen table. A burst of Springtime for the winter-weary; they bring high hopes for warmer weather in March.

This is the first time I've posted on IAVOM (In A Vase on Monday) in quite a while. There hasn't been much in the garden to pick and display. Thanks to the host, Rambling in the Garden. I've enjoyed being able to take part this week.
