With colors are so vibrant, the silky sheen on their petals.

I love how tulips signal that spring is officially here with such a grand celebration.

Here are my photos for Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge – Tulips. The tulips really opened up late in the day and darkened to a deeper purple toward the end of their blooming cycle.

Let me know if you participated in this challenge and happy flower gardening! I’ll be planting poppy seeds tomorrow!
