If you follow William Kendall's blog, Ottawa Daily Photo, you know that Ottawa at this time of year is awash in tulips. There are tulips everywhere. All colors of tulips. Different sized tulips. Ottawa has almost as many tulips as do the tulip growers in the state of Washington.
Well, William shouldn't have all the fun, so I looked all over Ocala for tulips; any kind of tulips. It took a lot of time and a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears, but I finally found tulips - red ones and yellow ones. Now some folks might say these aren't really tulips. Some folks might say they're faux tulips.
I don't care. Ocala has tulips and this photo proves it! So there!

Well, it works! Thanks for the mention!
Ah, there you are!! And I do love your beautiful tulips!! Have a great weekend, Lowell!!
That would be the kind that I could grow.
These are beautiful. Love the colors.
Ahhhh, eat your heart out Ottawa and the Skagit Valley! And these aren't your frilly, silly tulips that flop over and die! You go, Ocala survivor tulips!
Calm down... it's the weekend. There are golf courses to visit. Frig tulips!
Not sure if we have any tulips here, surely we do, but not beautiful like these or Kendall's...
A Tulip is a Tulip--right??!! Well to use your famous word---William may have a 'plethora' of tulips but by G** you came through too. MB
Tulips in Ocala, incredible! :)
Good for you! You found some. I am amazed at the tulip beds that William has been posting and brightening up my mornings with.
A successful mission! ;-)
Looool! Ah but yours are lovely too, if a little less numerous!
So attractive!!
And what a fine looking bunch they are too!
I noticed they aren't real when I looked at the leaves. :-)
Tee hee!
I almost fainted when I saw the words 'ocala tulips' on my Feedly links .... thought I was going to have to re-think everything I've ever thought (and blogged) about missing spring flowers b/c they don't grow in Florida.
OK. Now I can breathe again. It is a cute picture.
Wonderful!
