Bucketloads of Tulips!

The sudden warming has tulips blooming their faces off, and I'm swooning for all the colors and forms. We pick them early, still mostly closed, or showing just a bit of color like the ones in the lower right on the photo above, and then all sorts of different things happen in the vase.

There are crabapples and spirea blooming in the field as well, and the hellebores are setting seed and getting ready for a bigger starring role in the coming weeks, but for at least two more weeks, it will be tulips, tulips, tulips!
