Tulips

Tulip splendour at Highlander House

Every year as winter approached Sherry painstakingly buries hundreds and hundreds of tulip bulbs. All through the winter they lie covered and then, miraculously, burst forth in the spring...a riot of vibrant colour, much needed after a drab grey winter.

Every year Sherry asks the same question "oranges, yellows and reds?" or "pinks and purples?". And every year my preference is for the fiery colours as opposed to Sherry's preference for the pinks and purples.

Sherry's preferred pastilles

2023? I'm informed by Sherry that next year will be a kaleidoscope mix of both our colour preferences.
