Of course I buy bulbs in anticipation of the colors they're famous for unfolding, but I'm never ready—not for the first peak of pigment, not for the layers of petals, not for the unavoidable wilting. Life happens so quickly, but sitting here in the early dark, drinking coffee and listening to the birds out front, it feels more my pace.

Wishing you a slow and steady Tuesday morning. (I can't help but think of this one in Tennessee.)

    Tulips in a jar. Such a pretty idea.

    The tulips can grow in water/pebbles? Is that what I see?! I do this with paperwhites because I adore seeing the roots. Oh my. I WILL do this. Any advice?

    P.S. I got those mug hooks from IKEA for so cheap! <3

      Yea, it's just like forcing paperwhites! Nestle the bulbs in a little and make sure the water stays just below. Daffodils are beautiful like this, too.
