OK,...I cannot lie,...this is my dear friend Denys' garden. I have a few tulips (maybe a dozen or so), but when Denys built his house, he bought 1000 tulip bulbs (I'm not exagerating, there were crates and crates full!). He is an incredibly talented gardener, and can grow just about anything (unlike me and my black thumb,...if it's not a REALLY hardy perennial, it's not gonna last in my garden!)
It's funny,...Denys is an artist, and a perfectionist, and a photographer, so he jokingly "grades" my pics. The only one he has ever given me an A on is one of my first fotothing shots,...an Iris beaded with water after a rainstorm.
I haven't shown him this one yet, but hoping he likes it, as I made him an 8X10. I'll let you know what grade I get for this one!
