The tulips in this top picture look almost like peonies and this is one of the last tulip beds to finish blooming this spring.

This spring I took short walks most days in the Arboretum and followed the progress of the tulips as I progressed in healing after surgery. It has taken me a while to post these (or much of anything).

Promise of blooms to come!

An early bloom.

Tulips and daffodils

Promised blooms.

I’m including selections from different flower beds. The Frelinghuysen Arboretum was participating in a special year for tulips and they had extra beds and a lovely variety. I’m including photos from different days and different times of day.

The walkway with the crazy tulips in the very first picture in this post and a close up of yet another purple and orange flowerbed. I love combinations of secondary colors and these beds of tulips really made my day on so many days! For more flower photos check out Cee’s Flower of the Day.

I hope you have some beauty in your day.
