Tulipmania is about to begin all over again, and at the perfect time. The weather, after teasing us with an 85 degree Easter Sunday, has returned to a more normal, albeit sadly cooler, state. That’s where it should be, and as long as we don’t have a stretch of hard freezes, I’m ok with that. Besides, even if the sun fails to shine this week, I’ll have the memory of this tulip in my pocket. As you can see, it captured a little bit of sunshine within its precious petals. It’s a thrill to find those moments when nature echoes nature, reflecting its own majesty and repeating motifs in clever ways. Nature has its own inside jokes, its own winks and nods.
