I made my way over to Pier 39 in San Francisco to see the once a year offering known as Tulip Mania. For basically the last two weeks the weather here has been pretty rainy and nasty, since TulipMania only lasts a week I had to go before it ended. One thing I learned is that the Tulips are not fans of the rain or the wind:
In the hour I was walking around taking photos, it was sunny, it rained and there was a lot of wind. The weather changed about five times and that is when it dawned on me, I don't this weather and I bet the tulips don't like it either.
I love tulips too but haven't had any luck growing them. Your photos are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe tulips are beautiful!!!! I miss flowers! Bring on Spring! Hugs

What beautiful tulips! Today we are getting lots of snow and ice in PA so this really brightened up my day! I talked a bit about what is on my mind lately:

Amazing! I think there should be a worldwide tulip mania in every city - love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, is it time yet? The purple & white one is my favorite for sure! Ours usually don't come until April & sometimes as late as May! :( We still have snow! :( Have a great day and thanks for a lil' touch of Spring! I needed that!
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love tulips?! Thanks for the beautiful photos to look at while we patiently wait for spring to arrive. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou still got some great shops of the pretty tulips! That sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised about the rain but I've seen wind destroy flowers I was trying to grow, but then again I don't have any green on my thumb unless I'm eating guac tortilla chips. I can't wait for spring and all the tulips they plant around the square.
ReplyDeleteThe colours of the tulips are beautiful.

I love tulips Patrick! The colours and the simplicity of them. These photos were gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂
Tulips are a flower very close to my heart and hold dear memories for me, a friend actually surprised me with some the other day and it made my week! So many different colours in your photographs, just lovely #DreamTeam
ReplyDeleteYou have made my day, Patrick. The colours are stunning and I always think Tulips are very special. Thanks for sharing with us at #MLSTL and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love tulips! You've made my day with these photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party.
Tulips are my favourite flowers, especially pinks and purple shades! Thank you for sharing this with us at #Triumphanttales. I hope to see you back next week.
ReplyDeleteYOur gorgeous blooms reminded me of the magical day I spent on one of the piers in San Francisco. That truly is a wonderful place to pass a day.....
ReplyDeleteWow! Such beautiful tulips. I also love clicking pictures of flowers. Your pictures were so colorful and lovely.
ReplyDeleteAh such a happy, colourful, breezy flower full of the joys of spring. Loved your photos. We have an annual flower festival in Nannup, SWAustralia each year, and the small town is adorned with masses of tulips and daffodils. We always try to visit and each year come back with so many photographs and lovely memories.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I love taking photos of flowers. Spring will be here very soon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to The Wednesday Link Up.
I absolutely LOVE tulips! They are so pretty and your photos have captured the ones you saw very well. They always give me that little nudge to say spring is on its way. Thank you for joining us for the #dreamteam linky.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the tulips! They are beautiful. You are being featured at "you're the Star" Blog Hop tomorrow morning. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNeither do I, Patrick! I hate the rain and the wind especially when they come together. But, I'd love to see the Tulip show in SFO someday. Thank you for bringing us these beautiful pictures of the lovely Tulips and for joining us for #ww. Hope to see you again.
ReplyDeleteLove tulips. They are so pretty. We have Floriade in Canberra every year which is basically Tulip Mania on steroids. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love Tulips and these are so very gorgeous. Thanks for sharing Patrick. :)
