Tulips in the sunshine at Stanley Park, Calgary.
I hope you have an amazing weekend! What is on your to-do list?
Flowery Prose 
Well done. Magnnificient result.
Thank you! The sunlight looked so beautiful shining through the blooms.
Lovely tulips! We are shopping for patio furniture this weekend. Any tips with where to find some reasonable priced ones are more than welcome:)
I hope you had success with your patio furniture shopping! There are so many beautiful sets available now…but they can get pretty pricey.
We’re transplanting tomatoes and peppers, thank you. Maybe the eggplants, too.
That sounds like an enjoyable gardening task!
Beautiful tulips! Ours are finished. Maybe you can help me with this. How long do you leave the stem and leaves without cutting them back. I am thinking (rightly or wrongly) that if I leave the stems etc until they turn yellow, then some of the nutrients are going back into the bulb for next year. Is this true or am I living in a fairy tale.

You’re right! You can cut the flower stems off once the blooms are spent, but wait a bit for the leaves…as you say, the plants need a bit of a waiting period to return energy back to the bulbs. When the leaves go completely limp and turn brown/yellowish, you can cut them back.
Gorgeous tulips. My to-do-list for this weekend is to take a rest. 🙂 I’ve gardened every day this week plus a couple of DIY projects and a small painting project. I’m tired and looking for a good book and a fun day trip. 🙂
You’ve been super busy! I hope you had a lovely relaxing weekend.
Lovely shot. This weekend (or the whole summer at the rate progress is being made!) we are removing the 70 year old wire fence and posts and refencing a strip of our yard. I has taken three days to remove, clear and prep 2 holes. BIG job.
Oh my goodness, that sounds absolutely MASSIVE! I hope it goes well for you and that you get a few minutes to relax, at least…. 🙂
Nicely done, Sheryl. No great plans for this weekend.
Thank you very much!
Thanks Sheryl for the flowery Friday, it is a beautiful flower.
Happy to hear from you, Grandpa – it’s good that you are feeling well enough to rest at home! Take care and say hello to everyone from us!
As little as possible . 🙂
Oh…I like that very much. Sounds blissful. 🙂
Hope you have a great weekend too Sheryl. I’m taking the afternoon aff and meeting friends at an ice cream parlour today… looking forward to the first ice cream of the season! 🙂
That sounds positively delightful! A perfect way to spend the afternoon! 🙂
Beautiful. I’ve been shooting flowers myself. I enjoy.
They are such great subjects, aren’t they? Have a wonderful weekend!
love that yellow glowing….
The colour and light were perfect!
Beautiful tulips! Ours have all finished now. I managed to do half a day’s work in the garden this week-end – so pleased! Hope your weekend was fun!
That’s wonderful that you were able to spend some time in the garden on the weekend! I got a bit of weeding done but there’s always a ton of it. I enjoy the task, though – I find it relaxing!
Have a wonderful week!
Thank-you Sheryl. I love weeding! I find it so relaxing too. A really satisfying job to do. I hope your week is going well.
tulips make me smile BIG, especially yellow ones!
They’re just so cheerful, aren’t they?
Love how those tulips glow in the sunlight!
They were spectacular!
Oh now, those are mega cheery ! Hi Sheryl and thank you ever so much for my prize. I got your book last week and finally had time to dive into it last night. Gorgeous ideas! I’m growing a wall of sweet peas this summer, they’re coming along nicely. I shot a photo when they’re worthy! Cheers my dear xK
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the book! And I hope your sweet peas are doing really well – looking forward to seeing a photograph! One of my very favourite flowers – and they smell divine. 🙂 Hope you’re having a wonderful week so far.
