Red and yellow tulip.......


Iowa State University, where I graduated, had the colors of red and gold.  So I call this my ISU tulip.  When I bought them, I must have wandered all over my two lots to plant it, as it comes up in three different places.


These two are planted under some honeysuckle bushes.  There also is a wire fence to keep the dogs contained in the back yard that sits right in front of them. In order to take the picture, I had to hang over the fence and hold the camera down at arm's length and take random shots.  My neighbors are getting use to mes o if anyone saw me they probably thought I was acting normal.

So that's what that flower is. A Tulip. I never knew what it was. Reason being, a while back while walking around one of the Parks here in Reading, I happen to stumble on this very colorful flower. I was imprssed by its beauty, so I took a Image of it. I still have it in a Frame that hangs in the bathroom downstairs here. They are very colorful and have a great blend of yellow and reds.
