@polebird: 🌸 Awaiting spring’s arrival! Tulip picking season is coming soon 🌸

in #love6 years ago (edited)

Spring is just around the corner, and I am so looking forward to a change of season. In Dallas, the last week has been dreary and cold, and just makes me miss the sunshine even more! The first day of spring this year will be Tuesday, March 20th. It was a beautiful day in spring, when I visited the Texas Tulips, a tulip garden in Pilot Point. It was my first time to visit such a place where you can cut your own tulips! Pilot Point is only about 45 minutes away from Dallas, and the experience was well worth the trip for me.

We got baskets and were able to choose the tulips we wanted to take home. There were so many types of tulips to choose from, they have over 90 varieties of tulips planted in the field that bloom over the span of a month. The buds of tulips are short lived, so different plants flower at different times of the blooming season.

Springtime always brings me joy because another passion of mine that have not yet revealed to the Steemit community is - FLOWERS! I love flowers, gardening (although a lot of my stuff dies off), and sometimes try my hand at floral arranging. You will probably an increase in posts about the green-thumb (or lack thereof) in my upcoming posts since spring is almost here. :) In the spring you will find me digging in the dirt lol.

Thanks for reading! Any other Steemians who love flowers or gardening?

Wow, the tulips are wonderful, very nice fields. I have never tried to plant flowers too much, but I have some experience with vegetables and berry fruit. Here's our garden behind the house when it was in full power last summer. :)
