Barbara, a lovely photograph and proud you should be of having this bloom so
beautifully. I was stopped for minute when I read the first tulip of the
season and then I remembered you are just going into spring as we are facing
fall soon.

I'm rather proud of this tulip, I live in a sub tropical climate and it's
not easy to get tulips to grow and flower, I have to put the bulbs in the
fridge for about 6 weeks, before planting them out. This is the first one
to bloom in my new garden.
