On this Mother’s Day, I would like to give you flowers. Well, pictures of them anyway! Each year our local Zoo and Botanical Garden has a tulip display that is quite beautiful. The varieties and colors are just dazzling and the background landscape of the Cincinnati Zoo is hard to beat. We go almost every year and as usual I bring my camera. It is difficult to say if one flower is prettier than the other so I will let you pick your own.
So for Mother’s Day, have a few flowers from me, and enjoy your day.
So lovely!!!

I agree, and thank you for the comment. I could just jump in the field of tulips, lay down in the middle of them and never get up!

I like the purple Tulips first followed by those little white flowers(don’t know their name.)

I am glad you liked them. I am not sure of the name of the white flowers and will ask my better half – she usually knows these things LOL
I found myself unemployed recently and as I put it – too young to retire and too old to get an equal paying job but I am doing quite well, thank you. Family is fine and dealing with extra time on my hands! Thank you again and good to hear from you.
