Tulip Tuesday

I have always loved brightly colored flowers, particularly the tulip. A couple of weeks ago when I was driving around Wellesley, I saw a house with two big ruby red beds of tulips. I was compelled to stop and snap a photo. This was only the beginning of my tulip adventures.

Since then, I have been seeing brightly colored tulips popping all over the place, causing a few almost near car accidents as I swerve around trying to get optimal viewing... kidding, sort of. I guess it IS true that April showers bring May flowers after all! I have become mesmerized by these flowers! They are able to make such a bold statement while maintaining a delicate nature simultaneously. This flower stands tall with their long green stems, setting themselves apart from other plants in a garden. Today I decided that I was going to start recording all the beautiful tulips I see all over, inspiring Tulip Tuesday. There is a potential this may become a weekly segment, depending on how often I get out on the town now that I've started working a full time internship; finding these tulips can take some extreme hunting. For certain look forward to more blogs on flowers! 

Do you pass a patch of uncanning flowers daily? Send them in to alexandraglazer@verizon.net and you may be featured in a future blog post!


Here are some pictures from today's adventures that I snapped on my iPhone camera. Not bad quality for a phone camera! All pictures featured below are from Marblehead, MA.

April Showers, Brings May Flowers.

I knew there was no way that the gorgeous weather would last all week! Of course the rain once again had to ruin the sunny streak. The only benefit? We will be having some beautiful flowers coming our way in May. My favorites are peonies, hydrangea and tulips.Can't wait until they come into season. But in the time being, until we have real flowers to admire, we can take a look at this seasons fashion accessories. A very popular trend for this spring is flower statement pieces.
