Just a few blinks of an eye and this Tulip that was one of the heralds of early Spring, magnificent and bold, now drops its petals and slowly fades….it might return next year, it might not. Not that is matters in the grand scheme of life – Spring progresses. In what has been a just few weeks, all those so eagerly anticipated harbingers of Spring, the Snowdrops, Crocus , Daffodils and Tulips are just be memories….Not that Spring is over yet it we have Azalea and Rhododendrons yet to come, then into summer.
