I was desperate for a hint of spring so I treated myself to a pot of tulips.
The buds started to appear about a week later. I thought they were going to be a pale pink but...
.... now that they are open they turned out to be a gorgeous deep jewel pink.
A pot brimming over with spring sunshine for the bargain price of $4.99 ..... plus tax of course! The government has to have it's share, even of my spring sunshine.

gorgeous!! an inspired purchase.
Beautiful! I thought mine were going to be pink, but they turned out orange! Doesn't matter. A bright splash of colour does wonders to liven up our long, cold, dreary winters.

NICE pot of tulips. And the price was so reasonable, even including the tax.
I think we are all looking forward to a change in the weather.
worth every penny, they sure are beautiful! The daffodils are blooming here in the Bay Area, another happy spring flower.
Hi, Spring is starting for real here in the UK with Snowdrops and Daffodils appearing everywhere now.Your Tulips will will remind you that your Spring Flowers are not too far away.
Lovely spring tulips! I think I'll follow your lead and get a pot for myself! Thanks for sharing the cheer, Sham!
Gorgeous and worth every penny...even to the government. A bit of color always helps the mood.
Wow! Gorgeous flowers!
How lovely. A great investment in my opinion, and it can bring you springtime year after year.
Oh they are LOVELY! Money well spent!!
They are beautiful tulips....I am so very tired of winter....minus 2F this AM and now up to a whopping 4F with the sun bright.
What a bargain after a winter such as ours. A wise purchase indeed.
Lovely. I can't wait for things to start blooming around here.
Well, I guess tulips are the flowers where you have the greatest choice of colours (or surprises)!
Those tulips are so lovely! I know you enjoy them. We don't get the spring flowers here, so I always enjoy seeing them whether in pictures or in stores.
You have given me my taste of the Netherlands with this post, Sham. This is the time of the year when all tulips are very Dutch to me! Thank you. :)
Would be great if we could get a hold of some of those this time of year, much needed color, alas the hassle and chance of freezing hardly makes it worth it, maybe about end of April.
15 degrees is what is referred to as warm up here, it’s all relative in it?
Nice. Even with the tax they are a bargain.
leader Lane is right beside the King Eddy in Toronto.
I Could use some of these here! It is spring but I have nothing to show just yet.....
I love tulips and they are gorgeous. Great price at $4.99.
Tulips have always looked so pretty. I dunno, just the word "Tulips" has always felt romantic.
