The surprise tulip

Our new neighbors across the street must think I’m very peculiar since I’m spending a lot of time in our garden trying (many times) to get the shots I want. I’m grateful, though, that we have so many flowers right now as there isn’t much else I can photograph, not even birds, who aren’t much into posing for pictures these days.

I noticed yesterday that there were suddenly two white tulips among all the others. No idea where they came from!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

The surprisingly blue gate, posted earlier:

A beautiful close up of the mysterious white tulip. Especially nice with the water droplets on the petals.

A beautiful tulip well captured against a nice background Helen. I've had a number of red tulips turn white on me a few times also. Perhaps they are just returning to their natural color????

You ended up with a great collection when you planted those tulips. Delicate white.

A lovely portrait of this perfect tulip. I always “thank” the squirrels for rearranging the tulips.
