These Queen of the Night tulips are more purple than I expected (I expected them to be really dark) but tulips are tulips, and I still love them. Allium is such an interesting flower. Big tall stalks with a purple ball on the top. Do I like purple? Why yes, yes I do. BABY BROCCOLI!!! […]

Several more photos of random nature-y goodness […]
