Digging In

Tulips 

have become one of my favorite flowers

especially when we are looking out into the flowerbeds

searching for a sign of spring

now though is the time to get the bulbs in the ground

so we can enjoy them in the spring

I came across a write up on these

in the last Canadian Living magazine

Prinses Irene Tulips

honours Canadian Veterans

these vibrant orange flowers

were created in the Netherlands

to thank the Canadian soliers

for their efforts in World War 2

the streaks of purple appear on the petals

in the shape of the maple leaf

I think that they are gorgeous

and I hope to find some to plant now

so I can enjoy them next year

I hope to get out this week-end and find some of these

and get them in the ground.
