April Garden Walking, Tulips, Daffodils, and Ranunculus . April 2021

 

This tulip is from my garden.  I have to say I am so happy that 
I planted some tulips in my own garden this year. 
With the pandemic still going last fall I did not know if 
the public gardens that I like to walk would be open, and I wanted
to see some tulips of my own.
My daughter and I walked at the Thanksgiving Point 
gardens twice last week.  I told her I would take less photos.
I have so many photos I think I need to take less.

Most of the photos I am sharing with you were taken with my cell phone camera.
I like some of the different settings on the camera.

I'm going towards a more artistic look to my flower photos this year.

I like to have the flower illuminated and the rest of
the photo black like this.

One of my friends really liked this photo, so she got a copy.

Do you see the duck?

I really liked the coloring of this tulip.
 

I'm always amazed at the different shapes and colors of 
the flowers.


I like the fuzzy texture of this flower.

I liked this little plant too.

I really like the yellow flower in this group. 
I'm sure it was supposed to look like the others, but something went wrong.

As I walk through the gardens I try to photograph
the flowers I don't think I have a photo of.  I
want to do a book about flowers and their meanings. 
I got a new phone app that is supposed to tell you
what the flower is that you post to it.

Most of these flowers I don't know what their 
names are so I am photographing them to put in the app.


I love the Ranunculus flowers.  They are
just so beautiful.

I also have spots in the garden that I want to
photograph each week just to show the  changes as 
the garden goes from spring, to summer, to fall.

Another plant that I think is pretty but don't
know the name.

Do you know what flower this is?
Pansies.  As my daughter and I walked the gardens
she noted that I know the names of most of the flowers.

She said I just see pretty flowers, and have
no clue what their names are. 

Speaking of flower names, they have a
section in the garden where they tell 
you the different names of the tulips.

some day I want to make a book
A to Z Tulip flowers by their name.


I never knew they all had a special name.

I like the Silver Parrot tulip.



Do you have a favorite tulip color?






Here is a pretty Hyacinth.



I like how they have little signs that
teach you about the plants in the gardens.

This is another spot I hope to photograph each week.




Did you know there were so many different colored tulips,
and each has it's own name?



The first week is probably not the best week
to visit if you can only go once to the tulip festival.
Most of the garden looked like this.
Tulips that have not yet bloomed.


This is from my own garden.


I like this photo of a daffodil.


My daughter and I are planning to do a picnic some day soon.






I love all the decorations they put around the gardens.
Hope you are all enjoying spring.  It's time to get out in my own garden.
