An Ode to Dying Tulips
A few weeks ago my mom brought me a bouquet of tulips, which was so incredibly lovely of her. I had been thinking of picking up a bouquet when I was at the grocery store in the morning, but when they were sold out of anything nice, I figured I would just do without. However, I didn’t have to do without, as my mom stopped at the local florist and brought me these tulips later in the day! It’s not as though bouquets of flowers are necessary, but they can make such a difference to your mood can’t they?
Sadly, these didn’t last very long for some reason. Mine got a bit dry, as I left them for a few days over the weekend and the leaves started to die. I think they just weren’t the best flowers this time, though, since my sister got a bouquet as well and hers didn’t even open fully. Even though they died much too quickly, they were still lovely to have for a short time, and I decided that they were still worth documenting. There can be beauty even in fading things.

Or tulip plants from Easter are not too well either. You are right though, they are lovely. We will plant teh bulbs and hope they come up next year.

Beautiful photos! I have some tulips about to come out in my garden. I’m looking forward to seeing what colour they’ll be. xx

Tulips are such a welcome relief from the cold weather, aren’t they? I hope yours do well!

This post is so beautiful, Nicole! Nothing brightens a day quite like a bouquet…and I absolutely agree there can be beauty even in fading things ❤️

Such lovely flowers! It’s been so cold here that nothing’s really started to bloom yet, but I can’t wait until we have something bright and cheerful popping up out of the ground. Your photography, as always, is really beautiful.

Thanks Jessica! It seems like Spring is late this year- I hope you have some sunny flowers soon!
