Tulips
Day 50 / 365
STOP! Tulips Time. 🙂
Interesting Fact: During WWII, some people in the Netherlands were forced to eat tulips because there wasn’t any other food. “Bread made from tulips is not very good … like wet sawdust” according to a Dutch man who grew up on a tulip farm during the war. (Also, part of the bulb is poisonous, apparently.) ( http://alloveralbany.com/archive/2011/05/06/20-facts-about-tulips )

What scrumptious tulips. Can tulips be scrumptious? I don’t know but it’s the word that sprang to mind when I saw them. So silky and pink and the light is lovely.
Thank you for stopping by and you are right they do look scrumptious. 🙂

Thank you very much I am glad that the lighting came out the way I wanted to come out. 🙂
