I saw some lovely tulips today!

While shopping at one of my favourite supermarkets I noticed, at the end of each check-out, there were buckets full of beautiful colour flowers ... when I looked closer I saw they were tulips! Now you may be asking did I treat myself to a bunch?

Well, on this occasion I didn't, the reason being I still have some beautiful plants and flowers that were given to me at Christmas ... but I may well be treating myself soon 😊



Do you sometimes treat yourself, or a loved one to flowers?
Perhaps you have a favourite?

~ All the best Jan ~

...thanks for the preview of spring.

Tulips are one of my favorites! I think because I live near Holland Mi, which is known for tulips and even has a tulip festival. Also because they are a sign on Spring! So I usually treat myself to them a few times in the Spring.

Jan, those Tulips were like a breath of fresh air. SO pretty. And, to answer your question, yes, sometimes I do treat myself to some cut flowers when I'm shopping. Have a wonderful week!

I love receiving flowers and sometimes buy them myself but they are so expensive these days.

Dee Kissinger said...

I do, but not cut flowers. I buy myself orchids.

Dee Kissinger said...

I should add to that. To clarify....I buy potted orchids.

Yes Jan we do treat ourselves to grocery store flowers. In fact there are red tulips on our dining table. Very nice to see as we have snow!

They are lovely flowers and no I don't buy flowers to put inside, have some in the garden if I wish to, Jan.

Linda said...

I pick out flowers for Tommy to give me and use his cc. He does not care what I buy and is willing to pay for them. Somehow, he just does not like doing it himself.

I tulipani sono dei fiori stupendi.
Anche a me capita quando sono al supermercato di vedere delle bellissime piante
A volte resisto, come hai fatto tu, altre volte invece cedo alla tentazione e le prendo

Tulips are also my favorites but they aren't available in my shop yet!
Your bouquet looks beautiful with their colors!
Have a happy day, hug Elke

That must have been a lovely sight Jan. Such a sweet gift to be given plants. Coincidentally I have tulips on my post today taken a few years ago. All the best to :)

A beautiful look at some lovely flowers.

Tulips are one of my favourite flowers. I'd love to see the tulip fields in Amsterdam. Xx
