Flower Photo: Darwin Hybrid Tulips, 'Lighting Sun'

Ombre Orange Tulip Photo

I hope you're not tired of tulips yet! As if 15,055 tulips weren't enough for me at the 2016 Lewes Tulip Festival in Delaware, last weekend I went to Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania to tiptoe around more than 240,000 tulips.

It was raining when Ogre and I arrived, so first we explored the new blooms inside the conservatory since last time we visited during Longwood Gardens' Orchid Extravaganza. As soon as the sprinkles stopped, I power walked outside to the Flower Garden Walk. Not long after the sun broke through the clouds, I came across this beautiful bed of Darwin Hybrid Tulips named 'Lighting Sun."

How To Plant Your Own Post for Flower Friday:
The only rule to play is that you can only add one link per week! The post doesn't even have to mention flowers, but only ones that do will be eligible for being picked as a feature next week. I will be sharing my flower image on other blog hops, namely Wordless Wednesday, and welcome all family-friendly links from fellow bloggers. Crafters can even link up an Etsy listing or other shop product! But if you want to promote a prize, please add it to my Giveaway Chest Linky instead to entice more treasure hunters.

Please follow my blog through any of the social media icons in the upper right sidebar to receive a reminder to return next week. Adding my button or a text link to your own blog and sharing to your followers is also a fairy appreciated way to help my hop grow.

  4. I just can't grow them in our heavy, clay soil but in a previous garden I did have a gorgeous display of red & yellow ones. Two years later they had all turned orange!
