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.
Tulips from Modena
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
They give a casual beauty to a lovely new spring dayI clip each color gently as I picture my display
Tulips have always been one of my favorite flowers. I used to draw tulips when I was a child. I would love to see tulips in Italy. That would be a dream come true!
Generally we associate Tulips with Amsterdam and Netherlands. But I see these are from Modena, Italy, Whatever the place, they really look lovely and so soothing. I would love to view acres and acres of these flowers stretching out to the horizon,
Such cheerful flowers, I wish I could get mine to stand up tall like yours, whenever I buy them, they flop chaotically!

I love Tulips and when someone speaks of Tulips the picture that immediately comes to mind is that of Amitabh and Rekha running in between rows and rows of tulips and singing 'Dekha ek khwab' 🙂

The tulips are so beautiful and the poem expresses it much more vividly.
Indrani, I remember the song from the Silsila movie- 'Dekha Ek Khwaab To..Door Tak Nigaah Mein The Gul Khile Huye' whenever I see Tulips! 🙂
