Flower power is real.
You cannot deny that even a single pretty stem in a vase adds vibrancy and character to any room or space, adding a feeling of calm and creating a restful spot for the eye to linger.
These tulips bloomed beautifully over a week and are still going strong. Tulips are part of the Lily family and there are more varieties than can be counted!! Tulips may not have a strong fragrance but they look absolutely stunning, so that’s ok.
Some of us are very deeply immersed in all things floral (to high ranking Cath Kidston levels), while others are happy with a simple bouquet (probably closer to my level).
Flowers are not ‘just a pretty face’ either, they have practical uses too, such as making perfumes, providing pollen for bees, making dyes, and acting as many widely known medicinal/healing properties (e.g. lavender for relaxation).
Flowers deserve more appreciation.

Yellow book, yellow tulips! Great juxtaposition. I didn’t know tulips were part of the lily family.
Thanks for visiting The Glasgow Gallivanter.

Thank you! I didn’t know either until I got this book – You have some great photographs and I’d love to have a trip to Scotland at some point, love the views, landscapes and beautiful buildings.
