Ahhh....on the mend at last! Spring is really here now, and its healing power has (along with copious amounts of anti-biotic) driven the ick from my head. HooRay! Allow me to present the visual medicine that has accomplished such a wonder.
Formerly a dark magenta tulip, it seems to have aquired a "break" and turned into this lovely specimen. You can see some Bleeding Hearts in the background.
The tulip is kinda tipped over a bit 'cause of the colossal thunder storms we've been having recently. If it survives until we get sunshine, I'll get a better pic then.
EDIT: Here's a pic of the tulip standing up in the sun. Even a bit more open.
Did I mention Bleeding Hearts?
The floral pharmacy also prescribes Woodland Phlox, which smells like heaven:
Wood Poppies:
And, of course, my favorite pre-historic plant, Chocolate Trillium (over there behind the poppies):
All of this is potent enough to cure, if not what ails you, then a bad case of long winter blahs. Kudos and humble thanks to LadyRanger, the pharmacist who mixes up these restoring nostrums.
And the most powerful, wonderful visual medicine?
You guys should see this! It's really pretty! Hey, when do the turkeys bloom? And the cheese plants? Those are my favorites.
Many thanks to Scooby, Shaggy and Scout for their kind inquiries into our collective health. I think we're doing well, and we wish the same for you and yours!
