Nine stunning tulips. They really are this colour.

Please do not use any of my photos without first checking with me that it's OK to do so. I'm sorry but, for various reasons, I may say no.

my camera
- I take all my photos with a Fujifilm FinePix F30, in natural light and without any extra equipment (except when I use a large sheet of watercolour paper to cut out direct light). I don't Photoshop or alter my photos in any way, and the only adjustment I make is when/if I crop them.
What stunning colours. It's a beautiful photograph.

Oh to wander round your garden. Bliss. Thank you for sharing them.
Here, we need a crowbar to plant bulbs (I'm not joking), so I am confined to pots.

I really HAVE to get some tulips this year ... I had no idea they could be so spectacular. Guess it depends on whose eyes are seeing them, doesn't it? Thank you for giving me this different perspective, so beautiful and, yes, stunning.

I love the color! Are these the "Apricot Impression" from before?
And thank you for sharing, especially since I'm looking out of my windows at 3 inches of fresh snow.

I'm hoping that you know the name of these tulips? Usually you say, and this time you didn't. I would love to add some to my garden. They are probably the prettiest tulips I've ever seen!

Jane,
I just wanted to say that I got your book yesterday after dithering for a few months over whether or not to wait for the American edition. I'm so glad I didn't wait, because it's even more gorgeous than I hoped it would be. Every page is better than the one before, and I've never been so inspired to get into the kitchen or dig out my old sewing projects. It's like having your blog in a form I can carry around with me! You did an excellent job and I can't wait until July for your new one.

Wow. Just...wow.
For the longest time, I did not like the color orange. But in the past few years when I came back to knitting and starting looking at yarn, I have begun to really like certain shades, like tangerine, a light, bright orange.
Love you picture and oh, the colors!

Somedays your pictures are all I need to breathe! Thank you!

Hi Jane, I have to de-lurk to join the general chorus of admiration here -- this is an astounding image! It looks painted, like something by Georgia O'Keefe. Thanks for the daily supply of lovely pictures; I don't know how big your garden is, but it must be spectacular.
