Another Flower Parade
Today I'd like to show you some lovely flower photos I took at the flower fair before march 8th. I mean the flowers are lovely, not referring to my photos here 😜 I wouldn't dare calling my photos lovely, I hope you know that. That is for others to say. Or not.
The reason I visited the flower fair was, first of all, to enjoy the colorful offer it is usually expecting visitors. Another reason was to look for some unusual, unknown, or not very popular flowers and obviously, to buy some as well. There are always gems at every exhibition or fair, you just need to keep your eyes open.
There are some usual flowers, that you can buy during spring and they kind of symbolize spring as well, because the 8th of March is the most common occasion these flowers are bought and gifted for, but we don't live in isolation anymore and repeating the same thing over and over for years leads to boredom, I'm usually shifting towards adopting new ones.
This is all nice and understandable, but there's another factor to take into consideration and that's your budget. Entering any fair without limitations can lead to financial disaster, so I had to be careful. First I walked through the whole market, mapping up the offer, asking questions where I needed help from specialists (there were a lot of vendors from greenhouses and they are specialists), marked the place in my mind, to be able to find it later and then went back to buy.
It's a good strategy that has saved me from overspending, but last year I had a very bad experience at another fair, when on a very rainy day, I told a lady "thank you for now, I'll see what I'll decide" and most likely she had enough and snapped at me telling me to never say that as it's not true and I'm not going to go back to buy anyway. My jaw dropped to be honest as no matter how angry you are, you don't lash out to customers, it's better to remain professional, regardless of personal feelings, so I told her, after her remark, I'm positive that I'm not going to come back to buy and left.
Anyway, let's have a look at the flowers I photographed at this specific fair, that I already miss.
Tulips are special in so many ways and you need courage to buy them as they last only for a very short period of time, but then there are these that in my opinion can beat so many flowers out there. Have you ever seen such tulips? There were only these at the fair, one vendor in total had them and I didn't dare ask for the price :)
What you see on the photo for me is the queen of spring flowers. It's called crocus and it is a perennial flower that grows outside. I see it as delicate as a ballerina and unfortunately I've never had any.
This beauty lives in soil, not pots, so ... I'd never dare to torture it. Purple is not my favorite color and would stay away from it, but not in this case.
If I'll ever have a garden, these flowers will have a special place in it, that's for sure. Imagine seeing them growing every spring.
Snowdrops. Honestly, I feel sorry for these little beauties. When I was a kid, these snowdrops dominated the event, most men bought snowdrops for the ladies and only the wealthy bought other flowers. Those times are gone now, snowdrops are protected, you can get fined for picking them and not many buy them, but not for this reason.
Dry flowers did not have much success. Who would want to get dry flowers, when you have so many lovely, fresh ones?
Maybe one day I will buy a big basket of flowers like those, as they were calling my name 😍
This is it for today, let me know what you think.

Hello!
I’ve never seen tulips like the ones in the first photos. They look amazing.
At first I even mistook them for roses — you should at least find out what this variety is called.
Great, bright post! 🌷
Hi.
I ran search and it seems they are called Yasmine fringed tulips. There are not many here, I mean this is not the usual type but who can resist them? I wish I had a garden to fill it with seasonal flowers.

Amazing - need to order some for my mom!
I meant seeds.
Bulbs.
I hope you can find these.
I found similar tulips—not the same color as yours, but they'll do just fine.
I also ordered these—something completely unusual!
Nice. I like those colors.
I think any color will do as all are beautiful, just make sure you don't have problems with customs. Most countries have strict rules regarding seeds, bulbs and agriculture products in general.
Hi, I didn't know you were such a fan of flowers or didn't understand it until I read about your new experience ) First of all, I liked the words about boredom and monotony every year. I also try to update the list of my new flower purchases every year to bring variety to my flower arrangements in the flower beds. Budget is one of the key foundations, because unfortunately I don't have an "extra" amount of money for flowers, but it's sometimes hard to fight with it )) I used to either exchange flowers with neighbors or buy them at the market, now I buy them online to avoid conflicts with sellers. However, even in online stores, sellers have already learned to deceive buyers, to my great regret. Tulips have not lived in my house for a long time, because their bulbs are eaten by mice. Crocuses are a special love, they are the first spring flowers that appear near my house after a cold winter. By the way, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I will make a publication with them. Some of the flowers in your post are a wake-up call for me every spring. Thank you for that, see you 😊❤️🌱
I am a huge fan of flowers, just don't post photographs of them anymore, or very rarely, like in this case as how can you not, when you see so many lovely ones?
I also used to exchange flowers with my hairdresser, who has a lot of space for flowers at home. I gave her all my African violets recently. Kind of get fed up with them and I knew hers died, so I gifted her all of it.
I'm shocked to read that even online stores are trying to trick customers. Not good at all and it shows people would do anything for money.
My plan is to take some macro shots of buds, once nature decides to wake up, then post them in the community. I do that every year and it's a lot of fun :)
Thank you for the lovely comment and have a nice day 🤗💚🌷
ah tulips are lovely, i really like them expecially black ones
the good pro they have is that it's true they don't last long, but the bulb under the terrain survives and is 'ethernal'
i don't buy many flowers usually, it's so hot at my place they all burn so better not waste money... good to see, not to buy
Black ones are rare and not black either 😆more like very dark purple.
Yes, the bulbs can last a lot, but only if you have a garden, not in a pot.
My son did plant a tulip bulb in a pot this winter with the school, it's growing now, I'll let you know if next year it's still alive 😄
If you store it properly and care for it during the year, it's going to survive :)
That's it now😉
Nice, soon you're going to have a nice flower 😃🌷
What a wonderful array of flowers and what a beautiful fair! I could wander through it forever. I've always loved all kinds of flowers, a trait I inherited from my maternal grandmother. She was in love with her garden and tended to it constantly, a garden measuring 25 x 50 square meters.
One of my favorite flowers is the tulip, and I've never seen any like these; they're gorgeous. I recently bought a small orchid for my mother, who had always wanted one. The price was reasonable, and the color was beautiful, white and burgundy. I love seeing her happy.
But the most beautiful flowers are the crocuses. They look painted, as if they were created with brushstrokes, beyond just the color. They are so beautiful, and if I had a garden, I wouldn't hesitate to have them. For now, I have indoor plants. I love this tour, and it's true, who needs artificial flowers when faced with so much beauty? Thank you so much, and a big hug!🤗

I was thinking of painting the crocuses, while looking at those lovely petals, but no talent here, maybe drawing as that's easier for me, but then again, time, time, time 😄
I knew you like flowers and you'd have enjoyed this fair for sure. There were so many lovely flowers that it felt like heaven.
Thank you for stopping by, a big hug to you too and have a nice day 🤗
Perfect!!! You've given me a brilliant idea, you'll see!! And of course I'd love to see those drawings.
Yes, it's true, the weather's awful!
Have a fantastic day!💗
😬 I see the translator has fooled you here. I meant time, as I am busy, not the weather 😜
The translator is awful too!!😆
This is why you need to start learning English 😎
I definitely tried it twice... I've got to give it another go!
Wow 😀
How many languages do you speak?
I only speak Spanish, although as I have a lot of Italian relatives, I understand a bit of Italian. I was brought up by my maternal grandmother, who was Italian, and my grandfather was Spanish.
No one in my family has ever been any good at sports or languages😆
I speak 4 languages 🫣
That's admirable, very admirable. Four!!! That's great!😲
