Funky tulips in the Public Gardens
Cats: odd things, photos|I spotted these tulips in late spring. They were growing at the entrance of my city’s lovely Victorian Public Gardens.
A few shots from below and a bit whiz-bam-bang with Photoshop and the Victorian charm is transformed into the 21st-century funky.

I’m glad you mentioned Photoshop. I thought my meds were kicking in there for a moment. Lovely!

Beth, thanks, and yes, I think my tulips are gay

Cool.
I have a list of potential band names should I ever develop some sort of musical talent and decide to form one. Funky Tulips is now on the list.

No deer in the Public Gardens? Those wonderful tasting flowers wouldn’t last a day in our garden!! They are way cool BTW.

Allison, that’s what my kids said. Rad.
BeckEye, oh, please post on the other names!
YAM, the deer are funky too – they eat sushi and drink lattes in the public garden.

You know, my mom used to do morning glory seeds…though my parents claimed that she never did them when I was in untero.
I dunno, I think I’m getting flashbacks…

Cormac, hope the flashbacks aren’t traumatic
