I would be heading down there soon, but my car is really not something I want to take out onto the freeway in its present condition, and it's not scheduled for repair until the week of April 6-10. I will be getting a rental car, however, while mine is in the shop, so that's when I'll be heading down to take my own look at the tulips. I'm thinking they should just about be in perfect condition in another three weeks. That's what I'm hoping, anyway. There are early, middle, and late tulips in the big gardens, but this year I'll bet they will all be gone by the end of April! I'll be showing you my pictures when I get down there.
Oh, and since it's St. Patrick's Day today, please remember that if you are going to drink green beer to celebrate, find a designated driver or stay home to imbibe. Better to be safe than sorry. I also found this great picture taken of the seniors from the YMCA during the St. Patrick's Day parade last Saturday.

that's a great saying. :) no green beer for me (but i did have 2 gin and tonics to celebrate a good yard mowing and a spot of sun!)
ReplyDeleteOooh. Love those tulips (and daffs).
ReplyDeleteGreat saying - and no beer for me (of any colour).
The tulips look wonderful. Over here we seem to be missing out daffodils and going straight to the tulips! Very strange. We had St. Patrick's singing in the shopping mall today. The big parade was on Saturday. Love your picture of the seniors, all dressed up.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful tulips, it's so encouraging to see all the color and flowers in bloom !
ReplyDeleteLove the St. Patrick's Day quote....perfect :)
A Happy St. Patrick's Day to you Djan.

Oh so pretty! Yes, our big tulip farm south of Portland is opening early this year.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day . I like the Irish quote.
ReplyDeletefor me it's unbelievable to see fields of tulips in bloom.
The first tulips are in bloom here in my yard too. I think we go to the Skagit valley about May 1, and then stop over at the whidbey Cabin.
ReplyDeleteThe rain returned here this afternoon in time for a moist walk. Somehow rain just seems normal for St. Pat's Day.
Amazing to have those fields of blooms! Nice quote too.
ReplyDeletei will take that blessing...and i hope those flowers are ready for you when you get there...wow that is a ways off on the car repair...why so long?
ReplyDeleteLove that quote. Haven't heard that one before. :)
ReplyDeleteThe tulips will be early this year. Looking forward to the pictures.
Out here we would say the tulips would be too early and wouldn't make it as we are going to have more winter weather. The surprising warm weather this past week is fooling the flowers.
ReplyDeleteI like the Irish quote. I will print it out and put on the bulletin board at our senior center. We had a wonderful St Pat's lunch at our center yesterday!
D'Jan, love the quote for St. Patty's Day. The tulips will be lovely in the fields, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThat top photo of the flowers is so incredible. Something you won't see in Hawaii.
ReplyDeleteAh, spring. You've given me an idea...I'll buy some tulips soon, because they won't be blooming for a while here.
ReplyDeleteThat is favorite quote of mine. Every time I see the lovely tulips in your area I thump my hear for not planting any bulbs in the fall. They are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose tulips will be a real treat for the eyes. Look forward to seeing some photos.
ReplyDeleteOh so very beautiful!!! I saw a lady [neighbor] bringing home several tubs of tulips. It's that time of year.
ReplyDeleteLove the Irish Quote.
Nice ... unfortunately, we still have snow on the ground. Everything will be late this year so I appreciate the photo.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff all around, DJan. I quite like that quote.
ReplyDeleteI am anxious for your tulip visit and photos! I will check out the link. That is a great quote! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful Irish quote. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that the tulips will wait for us. Every time I see tulip photos, I panic.
