See You Next Year Again Tulips

They are gone now in our garden. I guess they are only resting down the soil to get ready for spring next year. They had already done their part beautifying our garden during spring season. I am missing the tulips in our garden. I am not really sad because I know I will see them again next year.  I don't have to worry too because I always take pictures of them  everytime they are coming back to our garden.

Two kinds of tulips  in our garden. See you next year again!

Spring Time is Garden Time

Spring time is truly garden time for me but sad to say, it is still very cold outside. I went this morning in our garden to check some flowers and I am happy to see that a lot of tulips and other flowers are already blooming. I want to do a bit cleaning and planting but decided not to staty too long because it breeze is still cold. I don't want to get sick only for this reason. I can wait until the weather will be nicer and friendlier in the coming days or weeks.

Spring time is just one of my favorite seasons of the year! Here are some of the few blooms from our garden.

these tulips always love to come back every year. I already have this for seven years in our garden.

the daffodils are slowly getting weakened. These are the first ones that bloomed in our garden since almost three weeks ago.

I love the color of this viola flowers. It is one of my favorite colors. They are also blooming now. Other colors such as yellow, red and orange are also in our garden.

First Bloom in Our Garden

Spring time is finally here! The calendar in front of me says that spring in Germany officially starts on March 20 this year. I went outside our garden today to look for the first blooms of the flowers. I already saw a lot. One of it are the tulip flowers. Hyacinths, violas and the little white wild flowers are also blooming. It makes me happy again to see the beauty of nature in our garden. I love it!

Geflammte Tulpen, Flamed Tulips

Tulips are coming soon. Spring season is the time of the year where tulip flowers first bloom. I a hundred in our garden. The one you see below is the so-called Geflammte Tulpen of flamed tulips in English. Isn't it a lovely one? I love tulips because it always reminds me of a new beginning...the new beginning of life everytime it blooms.

The tulip is a perennial, bulbous plant with showy flowers in the genus Tulipa and belongs to the family Liliaceae.

See You Soon Tulips

2012 is finally here! For some this might be a great year, for some a beginning of new life, for others a struggle for something..I just hope that this year will be a good one for us. I am only wishing for good health for me and family, love, peace of mind and happiness in simply things. So far 2011 was a great year and I am very thankful for it. I am also hoping and praying that some dreams and wishes will come into reality this year.

So now, let me share you and image of the tulips from our garden. This was taken last spring 2011. I am hoping to see them again very soon. Once again, a happy and blessed new year 2012 to everyone!

Beautiful Tulips from Our Garden

A lot of tulips from our garden is still blooming. Some are gone now but some are still in full bloom. Others are still on the process of blooming. I hope I am not quite complicated here. I am just happy since few weeks ago after seeing a lot of tulips blooming in our garden. If I could only wish that they will bloom the whole year but I guess only a miracle could do it. We have more varieties and colors this year than the past years. We planted more last year during Fall time and now they are here spreading beauty to our garden. It is a nice feeling seeing them again. Our hearts are dancing everytime we take a look at them.

Here are some kinds of tulips fresh from our garden!

the tulips above are the same ones you see in our header template here. They always come back every year. We simply love nature and we love flowers too!

ORIGIN OF THE NAME

Although tulips are associated with Holland, commercial cultivation of the flower began in the Ottoman Empire. The tulip, or lale (from Persian لاله, lâleh) as it is also called in Iran and Turkey, is a flower indigenous to a vast area encompassing parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. The word tulip, which earlier appeared in English in forms such as tulipa or tulipant, entered the language by way of French tulipe and its obsolete form tulipan or by way of Modern Latin tulīpa, from Ottoman Turkish tülbend ("muslin" or "gauze"), and is ultimately derived from the Persian language dulband ("turban"). (The English word turban, first recorded in English in the 16th century, is a cognate.)

the last two images here are the new varieties we planted from last year's Fall season. We love it!

Lovely Red Tulips from Our Garden

Here are more red tulips from our garden. What a beauty of nature it brings us! Simply beautiful!

some of the red tulips and orange colored ones from our garden

Tulips are indigenous to mountainous areas with temperate climates and need a period of cool dormancy. They do best in climates with long cool springs and early summers, but are often grown as spring blooming annual plantings in warmer areas of the world. The bulbs are typically planted in late summer and fall, normally from 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8 in.) deep, depending on the type planted, in well-drained soils. In parts of the world that do not have long cool springs and early summers, the bulbs are often planted up to 12 inches deep; this provides some protection from the heat of summer and tends to force the plants to regenerate one large bulb each year instead of many smaller non-blooming ones. This can extend the usefulness of the plants in warmer areas a few years but not stave off the degradation in bulb size and eventual death of the plants. more here

Tulips are here again!

These are the first tulip flowers that are presently growing in our garden this spring time 2010. I can't wait to see more tulips in a couple of weeks. I am feeling that I am also in Keukenhof garden in Holland.

Salmon-coloured Tulips in Our Garden

The flowers you see in the header of this site are the same tulips in our garden. The one in the header was taken last year. The salmon-coloured tulips you see in the picture below were the ones that grew this year. These tulips were gone now. What we have are photos from them. We hope to see them again next year. I love these flowers! more photos to share next time!

"The species are perennials from bulbs, the tunicate bulbs often produced on the ends of stolons and covered with hairless to variously hairy papery coverings. The species include short low-growing plants to tall upright plants, growing from 10 to 70 centimeters (4–27 in) tall. They can even grow in the cold and snowy winter. Plants typically have 2 to 6 leaves, with some species having up to 12 leaves. The cauline foliage is strap-shaped, waxy-coated, usually light to medium green and alternately arranged. The blades are somewhat fleshy and linear to oblong in shape. The large flowers are produced on scapes or subscapose stems normally lacking bracts. The stems have no leaves to a few leaves, with large species having some leaves and smaller species have none. Typically species have one flower per stem but a few species have up to four flowers. The colourful and attractive cup shaped flowers typically have three petals and three sepals, which are most often termed tepals because they are nearly identical. The six petaloid tepals are often marked near the bases with darker markings. The flowers have six basifixed, distinct stamens with filaments shorter than the tepals and the stigmas are districtly 3-lobed. The ovaries are superior with three chambers. The 3 angled fruits are leathery textured capsules, ellipsoid to subglobose in shape, containing numerous flat disc-shaped seeds in two rows per locule. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulips

Yellow Tulips In Our Garden

Tulips time is over! These yellow tulips are also gone from our garden. They usually grow in the months of March to April. We got different colours of these flowers. Try to search and dig this blog for more tulips photos. We hope that you enjoy viewing this blog!

Colorful Tulips in Our Garden

This is the time that the tulips in our garden are slowly dying now. There are still some that are alive now but around 90% were already gone. Tulips only comes once a year. Here in Germany, it starts to grow in March and bloom fully in April until May. After this time, you seldom see Tulips already. I guess in Holland there are always tulips everyday since they also export it to many countries in Europe and through out the world.

These colorful tulips are found in the front side of our garden. I use to take hundreds of photos in different angles and times of the day to see the effects of the pictures taken. I am not a professional photographer..so whatever pictures you see here are original ones.

Good Smelling Red Tulips in Our Garden

I just noticed last month that everytime I go near these red tulips flowers, I smell something like a cologne or perfume.

I wish to plant more of these in the Autumn time. copyright photo taken by the Author of this site
