Orange Tulips

"Made all the more interesting by their striped leaves, the contrast of violet-mauve and green against incandescent flame of color. These too, are New York sophisticates, gracing the sidewalk gardens at the foot of stately brownstone homes."- Nancy Boudreau, April 23nd 2011

Links to the Union Square Greenmarket, and a couple of sites that describe the delight of it all, Essential New York and What Is Fresh.

Crazy Tulips

"Union Square Greenmarket, a great place for flowers in the spring. These crazy-looking tulips, so appropriate for New York - sophisticated beyond recognition. Red-striped, yellow-frilled tulips, bleeding into my dreams."- Nancy Boudreau, April 13th 2011

Blushing Tulip

"Is it yellow, is it orange, is it pink? Blushing and shy, shell shaped petals just beginning to open - a tease. Bold gestures of fleshy leaves, a hand to the face, chin resting in palm. There is so much life in flowers." - Nancy Boudreau, April 4th 2011
