Wordless Wednesday: Lonesome Tulip

Yesterday evening I was contemplating what the heck I was going to use for my Wordless Wednesday post this week. I haven't been doing a very good job with picture taking lately. So while doing what I do best, procrastinating on my iPhone, I noticed that my hubby had emailed me a picture. I opened it up to find this picture of our lone tulip out by our mailbox. I love the angle of this photo, taken looking down on it. It doesn't even look like a tulip!



On a side note, even though we planted plenty of tulip bulbs throughout our property, this is the lone survivor. The moles ate the rest. And my daffodils. And hyacinth. I don't like moles.

    I don't like moles either, they dig holes all over my flower beds! Your tulip is beautiful, I haven't planted any at this house and miss seeing and smelling them!

    That's a tulip?! I would have assumed a poppy but it's very beautiful even if there's only one!

    It's a gorgeous photo and a beautiful angle.
    I know how you feel about the bulbs. Two years ago I planted 28 bulbs and only one flower came up, but it wasn't the squirrels that got them, I have NO idea what happened. It's pretty depressing isn't it.
