One white tulip by maggiemae

One white tulip

I bought 8 white tulips and put them in a big tub on the deck, Now we are off on our exciting road trip into the outer regions of the North Island of NZ. Only one tulip has come out so it deserves a photo because by the time we come back they will just be stalks!

Three good things:
1. We don’t have to worry about liquid items more than the allowed quantity to get through customs! That applies to scissors too!
2. I can relax my stiff shoulders now I’ve done the lawns, fought with the vacuum, taken a protesting cat to the cattery!
3. I will be able to save all our photos and experiences on 365. I did make a travel diary last year on a trip to America but it somehow got deleted!
So you don’t have to read right to the bottom!
Lovely shot. Shame you'll miss them this year.

@julzmaioro A nice thought Julia - but the north is generally well ahead of the south in vegetation!

Tulips have such a short life, you have to carry it with you.

Hope somebody takes a photo of the tulip when you're gone.
October 11th, 2015  
@sdutoit I did think of that but I really don't want strange people walking about the property and don't know anyone with a camera!
October 11th, 2015  
Pretty- too bad you'll miss most of them this year.
