Life in Colour

Bonus Pinks

I couldn’t finish this month’s colour challenge without one of my favourite April flower – the tulip.

This is a late flowering tulip called ‘Greenland‘ – an orchid rose-pink with green stripes.

(Coincidentally, this month is ending with a pink super moon which occurred on the one night that we had cloud cover! I did see it floating in and out of the clouds looking nice and big and not in the least bit pink! Apparently named after a native herb known as creeping phlox is coming into its pink bloom. (Native American))

This is the last week for the colour pink so get yours in before Sunday.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

  6. A super great extra pink. The super moon was easy to see with us, we were lucky and the sky was clear. This resulted in beautiful pictures (not by me …).

  7. Last day of the month here so I’ve just scraped in with another pink posting. I found some pink buildings and tulips…..although my pink tulips are very plain though compared to your beauties.
    Looking forward to next month’s colour

    Pretty in Pink…

  10. Oh I do very much miss tulips which we had en masse when I lived in the north. Here in the south I suppose our climate is too warm for them. The colors of your examples are glorious Jude, and you’ve captured them perfectly.

    1. More tulips tomorrow Tina. In their native conditions they bake in the summer and have very cold weather in the winter months. I think most of the ones we have today are best treated as annuals.
