A Tarda's Lesson

Hello there, sweet pod

I have been missing the beautiful blooms from all my tulips, as they had such a brief stay in my urban (NYC) garden this season which was due to the heavy rainfalls we have had in the city this year. And, as I type this text, I am thinking who cares if I am missing my tulips? 

Blogging can be so narcissistic, which is one reason that I've been more sporadic in posting here on TLLG; but more regular on nybg's tumblr and  TLLG's Facebook's Page.

On the other hand, if you, dear reader, find yourself missing the blooms from the flowers in your garden or the flowers in public spaces in the area where you live, I am here to tell you that you are not alone: take heart in knowing that there is plenty of beauty to behold in what remains, as my Tulipia Tardas reminded me when I discovered their leaves still playing with the pods, long after the flowers were gone.
