I thought that those of you who read Tantalising Tulips At Barleycorn and were infected with tulipmania, might be interested to see the colour changes in the tulips as they matured to full bloom. Black Parrot, which began life as a glaucous green with a hint of purple frill, grew into an amazing shade of blackish-purple with a deep blue centre. Green Wave, entirely green initially, with petals the same colour as the stem, transformed itself into vibrant yellow with viridian green stripes. Similiarly, with Pink Wave, which developed into a large frill of three colours, of mid-green, pale pink and deep pink around the frill. Texas Gold in its early stages was a very insignificant green with a whitish frill, which later changed to a sumptuous golden yellow with a frill of red lipstick. The pale red, green, white and purple of Esperanto deepened in intensity as it matured.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment, Kari &Kijsa :)
i have always wanted to plant the black parrot, they are lovely to see in bloom especially since it is now the middle of winter.
What gorgeous tuplips and photos! I particularly like the fringed ones--they're so delicate they look like they will take flight up and out of the garden!
Wow. Nice shots! Beautiful photos with marvelus tulips!
I like your blog content too

I don't think I have anything as nice as these flowers on my blog, Our Flower Pot.
I slept under a blanket last night. This has been the coldest July ever recorded here in Ohio where we live. And it was only 59 F here this morning. August is starting out to be more of the same. I fear a climate change is on the way and each year will disrupt the lives of more birds and butterflies to say nothing about the polar bears.
Welcome, dear Abe...chilly indeed...here too... :)
