One of my favorite things about living in the northwest is the abundant supply of affordable, fresh flowers. Even in the middle of winter….. Â
I live a little over 1 hour south of Mt. Vernon, home to the annual Tulip Festival.  Jealous?  Â
In March, you can drive around Mt. Vernon and see acres and acres of daffodils. Tulips in April. Iris in May.
I love the northwest.
While at Central Market (great place for natural foods) Tuesday, I noticed a sign announcing the arrival of the Mt. Vernon hothouse tulips, just the day before! Â
And there they were…. rows of fresh cut tulips in a rainbow of colors…. for only $4 per 5 stem bunch.  Prices get even lower when they start cutting in the fields.
Obviously, I had to have three bunches. And aren’t they lovely? Makes spring feel not so far away….
Southwest has airfare on special from Phoenix to Seattle in April………….
*sigh*…. I LOVE the tulips. The tulip festival was so amazing. Please go and take lots of pictures, again, so I can live vicariously through you.
TULIPS!!!! Seriously, is there anything better? No. They equal spring. I’ll have to look at the calendar for three day weekends in April…
You just keep giving me more and more reasons to love Washington….I’ve got to convince my husband to move there today!! I can’t wait any longer!
Yes, I love the flowers in Washington!! You are very lucky indeed!
Your pinkish tulips look beautiful and must make you feel that spring will be here soon. Yes go to Mt. vernon again and take lots of pictures for us to enjoy.:o)
