Exit78 Photo of the Day #45
In Arkansas, tulips are an annual. Native (ProFlowers) to eastern Turkey and the foothills of the Himalaya mountains, regions with a cold winter and hot, dry summer, tulips thrive in similar conditions around the world. Unfortunately, from the perspective of growing tulips, our winters aren’t cold enough for a long enough period of time. Sometimes a bulb or two will last for more than a year or two, but tulips don’t flourish for multiple years here.

Hi Mike – love tulips … and used to buy my mother bunches to have in her room at this time of year … probably daffodils first, then the tulips which would be later in the UK … the flowers are finally coming here – it’s been cold up in Canada – even though it’s been ok on the west coast – cheers Hilary
We have a number of different kinds of daffodils. The early ones are all done for now. There are still several different varieties that haven’t bloomed yet.
Stunning photograph Mike. Well done.
Thanks, Ramana.
I have always enjoyed photography, even when I could afford it or didn’t have the time for it. I am now taking photos every day with either my digital SLR or my phone. I am amazed at the quality of images that I can get with my iPhone!
