TULIP TIME
by Sue Baltes
This time of year finds me reminiscing about days gone by, about plants, plant people and many comments about winter flowers and tulips seem to top the list. Recently Candie Rudinski stopped by because she had to have a yellow tulip wreath. I showed her other wreaths I thought she might rather have but she said she had to have a yellow tulip wreath because it was her mother’s favorite flower and favorite color. So Candie left with a yellow tulip wreath. And another young woman had to have a bouquet of red tulips to place on her grandmother’s grave because Granny (as she called her) had always grown red tulips. Others have shared their love of flowers and reasons why tulips seem to top the list. 22 | asheboromagazine.com
