the last tulips I found this year - a photo on Flickriver

the last tulips I found this year

            When tulip season ends, I get kind of sick as the yellow sandstorm starts invading my area from the East China. 

Most people here love cherry blossom and consider them the most noble or highest ranked flower here, but I much prefer tulips and roses.   I even prefer rhododendron over sakura or cherry blossom. 

For me, tulips, roses and rhododendrons are very important flowers as my old anthropology professor loved them.  

He died in 2019, but I still grew his flowers for him.  

Anyway, the weather in this year seems odd, it is still kind of cold in mid-May here, this never happened before as far as I lived, and I am quite old.   Last night it was only 11 c here.  Today it is expected to be like 9c.  Normally it should be like 20c now.  So, this year is really strange.  I think there will be no typhoon reaching to my area this year as the humidity here is not as high as it normally is.
