Tantalizing Tulips from Ducal Gardens in Modena, Italy

Last week I had this post Macro of… almost all of you gave the correct answer as Tulip. There were some answers like: Rose, Lotus, Hibiscus… I am now tempted to post macros of those flowers in my future posts.

Here is the larger scene of the Tulip flowers I got to see in the Public Gardens of Modena, Italy. How I often wish that I could grow them in my pots, but unfortunately Bangalore doesn’t have a favorable climate for it to grow.

During our walking tour of Modena, the ancient town of Italy, we walked through the Ducal Gardens (Public Gardens). There were so many colors of Tulips. I went crazy seeing the lovely blooms, almost to the verge of bursting into a poem. But then I decided to stick at what I am good with – which is the camera and leave the pen alone.

Sharing with you a poem I came across on Tulips, written by: Linda Hogeland. Each word is so perfect for it. Interested in more tulip flowers? Check this: Tulip Flowers from Mirabell Gardens  Salzburg Austria.

TULIPS

The tulip has great strength as it pokes up from the sod

The strong green leaf surrounds the bud and acts as a façade
Then as the leaves spread open and the colored heads appear
The beauty of God’s planning often cause my eyes to tear
The jagged edge is lacy as it gently opens wide
And as it does,… you will be blessed …by the beauty found inside
The stamen stands so proudly in the center as on cue
And the colors vary greatly in the star shaped colored hue
Their splendor is a statement, yet in a simple way

They give a casual beauty to a lovely new spring dayI clip each color gently as I picture my display

I gather quite a bounty and they form a big bouquet
