My nods to Mexico and the Netherlands

Years ago, on a trip to Mexico, we saw...

... pansies lined up, in order to lead the spirits.  Although I disagree that any spirit worth having around needs to be led, I found it beautiful.  So...

Here you can also see the line of growing tulips.  Even more years ago than Mexico, I once flew over the Netherlands in late April.  From the plane, I saw miles and miles of rows of bright tulips.  It is one of the most beautiful scenes that I have ever seen.  I look forward to showing you the mini-version of what I saw in our yarden... whenever it warms up!
