Tulip Season (2)

I know, very bad resonance..it's my phone camera again.

This is a picture of the patch of tulips that are in a better lit are.  They are growing faster than the other batch by the wall.  

Here is an updated picture of the exact same tulips I took a picture of last week.
They haven't grown very much because of the shade and the recent cold weather...

In the background of both pictures you can kind of see the peonies that look like deflated balloons. :-(

The end of March is supposed to bring blooming cherry blossoms, so the news reported in Japan today.  If I don't get to take pictures, I know my friend Momo will!
