However, I haven't had much luck getting bulbs to blossom at my house and so I am usually lacking tulips and daffodils at this time of the year. I do love it when I can find affordable bouquets of these flowers to bring home and add a little springtime cheer to my home.
A couple of days ago I bought some beautiful tulips and put them in a vase on my piano next to my statue of Christ in the Garden and in front of my Living Christ frame. It felt like spring!
And they sat there for about 1 minute before Sparrow, the curious one, had to come and check them out. He thought they smelled pretty good
And head-butted even better.
And he had to make sure that he could still take his short cut across the piano to the table.
I could envision what was going to happen next, so the tulips got moved to the dresser in the entryway, where they still make me think of spring.
They are so beautiful and they smell so wonderful.
A truly impressive sight.
I am learning to think of these as springtime flowers as well. While tulips and daffodils offer the quiet promise of new life, our flowers shout it from the gardens with uncontained joy.
And I sat and enjoyed them for a few minutes today

Springtime flowers in Arizona are a little more showy than these standard blooms. Our flowers go all out to blossom and grow and truly welcome spring with a grand hurrah. This is perfect flower growing weather for us and the place they grow the best, in my opinion, is at the Mesa Arizona temple.

Christ Has Risen! He Lives Again!
because next week they will probably disappear.
It's time to plant the less showy, but equally beautiful, Arizona summer flowers.
Didn't spring just arrive?
Today I am thankful
that I didn't wait and go to the 2:00 session at the temple - it closed early today because of the Easter Pageant and I would have been sad.
for beautiful flowers.
for this Easter season and all that it represents.

i love arizona flowers!!! tulips are pretty, but i like the BANG IN YOUR FACE flowers of arizona. and you are right, the temple flowers are the best!! plus, the weather here is too bipolar for flowers and things to be in true bloom yet. our trees out front started to bud leaves, and then it snowed out of the blue and they all died. then it got nice again and there are some new leave buds, we will see if they stay this time!! but, i miss arizona! hopefully i will return soon! <3.
I think the tulips are probably a bit safer in their new spot, but they looked nice on the piano. Glad you got to enjoy the temple flowers.
I love your tulips in the vase and the flowers at the temple were amazing. I remember going there with my kids in the spring, the best place to experience spring. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, the flowers at the temples are the most beautiful! I loved your little display for Easter and thought "What a creative sister I have!". However, we both forgot that you also have a very creative cat (or three). It was great to arrive home on Saturday and find our tulips were blooming in the front yard and lilacs in the back. Happy Spring or Summer or whatever you're having!
Oh, BTW The Flower Fields were mighty impressive too! Glad I got to see them with such fun companions!
