Shy tulip bud

Tulips from Holland were to be found in my local florist's today! Tight buds which will gradually open. The leaves were very expressive - as if to put on a show all of their own while the tulip petals were not quite ready to open.

Thank you to Anni/BikerBear who hosts Flower Friday.

I shall be busy over the next few days as my son is coming over from Canada to stay, so I'm not sure how often I'll be posting, or visiting your journals until the middle of next week. 

Have a lovely weekend!
