Orange You Happy It's Spring?

I wasn't able to take any photos today, so I am cheating a little and borrowing one from the set that I shot yesterday...a group of jaunty orange tulips dancing in the breeze.

Tulips shyly smiling, greet the spring
Tightly closed when at 
First we meet
Tulips slowly opening, begin to sing
Gaining volume 
Ever sweet 

No longer shy, as days grow longer, 
Raising their heads 
They begin to flirt
Tulips dressed in many a color
Breezes swirling 
Each floral skirt

Tulips, brazen painted hussies, 
Part their bright lips trying to seduce
The busy buzzing bees
Far too bold for dainty tussies
Vibrant Tulip flowers produce
Visions certain to please.

~ Mary Havram, Tulips
