These are the tulips my friend Basia gave me last Easter. They came in a spring planter as indoor plants so I didn’t expect them to survive through our winter. But here they are, almost ready to bloom. It’s endlessly exciting to see flowers open. Funny how some things never get boring. I wonder if watching flowers unfold will still be exhilarating at eighty. Here is a lovely time lapse video from the internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjCzPp-MK48&list=PL9UxSNwA4JobnA1Gcz8JFX4FEtPsiIuLl&nohtml5=False
