For weeks, we went to Burnside Tulip Farm where we were greeted by endless tulips! I had a season pass that was what I thought was pricey at $75.00 for the season, but, there was value in the purchase. There were endless tulips, with 10 flowers for free, every time you went there. You could go every single day while the season was going. It lasts approximately 3 to 4 weeks, depending on the weather. You were never limited, I went almost every day or at least 4 or 5 times a week. If it was cool, that was fine, the tulips love a little brisk chill, but, when it warmed up, they became a little unhappy and bloomed too fast. I went, took some flower pictures, picked some beautiful tulips, pulled a few bulbs, and went home. Endless tulips at my house, at my neighbors, and a few bunches at the rest home for older people, with directions to give it to someone who doesn't get company... I always drop some off at the post office, because they are my people and deliver my mail. Everyone got flowers. Just like last season of tulips, I bought vases at the dollar store, for $1.50 each! Last year, they were $1.00!
MarketFriday is about going places and doing things, sometimes it is buying food, and other times we may buy merchandise. For me, the entire thing is all about the experience, the cultures, and traveling the globe in the space of this post. It will be the fastest trip you ever almost took! I have been educated in so many ways, unfamiliar with some of your customs and cultures. There were many posts in the last few last weeks that touched on Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim Festival. I learned it is one of the most important festivals in the Muslim calendar. Many posts were about what is entailed to prepare for it. All the things that go along with it, It was fascinating. I never knew how little I really knew about it, so I thank all of you who enlightened me.
This is one of my favorite flowers, but then, I probably always say that. Truly, this one ranks high on my list of favorites. The double pleat blackberry columbine. It was love at first sight for me, and that was probably 4 or 5 years ago. Their price took my breath away, it was so expensive, at $14.99 for a pot of them, but it only contained one medium-sized plant. but, it was new and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find it again the next year. They are perennial flowers, which means they will come back again, year after year. In my favorite nursery, called Merryfields, they keep their annual flowers and perennials separate. It makes less confusion when people are buying. Annual flowers come up for the season, then gracefully die at the end. You must purchase them every year if you want to see them again. I love the unusual shape of them! Have you ever seen these?
Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see the different markets and cultures of our friends here on Hive.
The sun was shining on this day, the brilliance of it bathing in its warmth, illuminating the petals on the stem. There is any other way of putting it, simply intoxicating to have the beauty, along with the scent touching your soul.
Le sigh
Bikes to ride, benches to sit on. The tulip farm was incredible in so many ways. So much beauty, so many happy enjoying the beauty of the day.
Then the food trucks were there, and you could have many delicious things to eat, from tacos to burritos, ice cream to hamburgers. Different trucks, different eats. What is the flavor you are craving? Word to the wise. The food trucks were expensive, It cost me enough to look. I'm good. I think on the next food truck down, a hamburger was $10.00 - Yikes!
The tulips are over and even though it was cut a little short by all the hot temperatures we're having, it turned a little cool for a couple of days and I have to wait to plant a few things. So, au revoir, tulips! Until we meet again!
For those of you who read the post, you are probably the ones who take the time to read a few #MarketFriday posts. As a courtesy, it would be nice to see people doing that without me having to ask. I have to say that it warms my heart to see a genuine comment. It is the interactions between people that make this platform special. People caring for people. I am interested in what your life is like. Stop and take a moment with people. It isn't all about the money. Sometimes, it is about the people too. For those that read the posts, thank you, truly.
There are horses out there somewhere. They won't be coming close anytime soon. Just like errant children, if they come close to you, they know you will tell them it's time to go in. Yes, there is a cost involved in the price of hay, although the field is hayed, so free hay. The grain, veterinary bills, horseshoes, although two of mine don't wear shoes. Shampoo, fly spray, but we make our own out of natural ingredients. Nothing in this world is free, except maybe kindness, compassion, and common courtesy.Oh, yes... And love your fellow man.
Please leave the link to your post here so it can easily be found by others. It helps you and me to have them in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you so much for joining us!! ❤
And just like that, my shopping is done. Until next time! I hope you had fun and maybe next time, we will get a few more plants to fill in the spaces. I hope you had a good time and learned a little something new. As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit, and just remember, #MarketFriday loves you! Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!!
As always, there must be flowers to color my world. I just want to say that I am honored that so many end their post with a flower, to color their world. That truly touches my heart. #alwaysaflower

Your photos are just amazing and lovely, the vases which you bought last year at $1 but this year increased by $0.5 which means 50% inflation within one year. Worrying.
Here is my post link
https://ecency.com/hive-196308/@asgharali/a-shopper-s-paradise-on
It is a worry, isn't it? A 50% markup is huge. To be fair, the fact that it was so inexpensive might have mistakenly given them permission to boost the price. Highway robbery!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words and dropping the link! Have a great weekend!

🐎
Horses will be horses with their own free will and stuberness , the tulips look lovely and they even have a bicycle next to it how much more Dutch cvcan you go 🤣🌷🚴♀️,. Well Denise as always a pleasure to see your photos and i do agree on that dark columbine it's a gem , my columbines arren't flowering yet maybe next week. have a great weekend .
oops wrong account again nah , she will figure it out 🤣🤣
Heehe! I always do, but I smile when I see it. :)
i know you do , nice basket of tulips , all i got today was clouds... lot's of them
I love clouds. I had no idea you had so many accounts. I dont have enough Hive Power to spread around.
Thanks for the nice shot!
#MarketFriday loves you!
currently 9 accounts for different reasons 🤣
Wow! You win!! 😀
Have a great weekend, Mick! @hive-14396 I put that bike in there for you! :) It made me laugh. It is cute though, they have bikes all over the farm that are used to get around.
I love that Columbine and three years later and I have them all over! Which columbine did you plant? I may get seeds for the fall and try another one next year.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words. A good weekend to you also!
#MarketFriday loves you!
How I would like to be there among all these tulips! I really love these flowers and once had a good collection.
I know!! I love tulips! They are such happy little flowers. What happened to your collection?
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words.
#MarketFriday loves you!
The weather played a cruel joke on me. The winter was snowless and the bulbs were frozen.
That is so sad to hear! Many people take them out and replant them every year. I had no snow this year, and it was warmer than usual, so nothing froze.
Undoubtedly the tulip farm is incredible and I like the bicycle inside it. Tulip is one of my favourite, specially the red one. You've shared amazing shots that can be consider such beautiful eye candies. Thanks Ms. Wigle for the lovely share. I love the theme you always share and its all about #marketfriday !! Take care !! 🧡🌷🌸🧡
Thank you! It is one of my favorite times of the year, with all the colors dotting the landscape. I have to agree, eye candy for sure!
I hope you are feeling better! Have a good weekend.

@leo-fairy I see you are being downvoted. If you do not know why, you should go to Hivewatchers on Discord to settle the matter.
Actually the downvote was a misunderstanding by a user, I don't know if there some other reason behind it. I enjoy being here and its fine if I get both upvote or downvote. I was shocked but later I understand that it was a misunderstanding. It was not hive watcher who downvoted me.
I didn't know, I just always recommend people to go if they don't know they are being downvoted. You wouldn't believe how many don't even know.
I am glad to hear it was an error, and I hope you have a nice weekend. Feel better soon!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Thanks dear for the kind words! I'm getting well and I may come back soon. Wish you a wonderful weekend. 🌷💜❤️
Every time I see tulips, I think of two lips. Weird or no?
There you go, planting a kiss. 🤣
When we were kids, we used to get a big giggle out of my mom planting "two lips" in the autumn. Yes, I can see how it happens. Not weird...much.
Hi, Galen! Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words. Your weekend is almost upon you!
#MarketFriday loves you!
I don't mind kissing tulips/two lips now and then, it's rather nice.
I've checked out Saturday and I can assure you it's safe to head on into it and enjoy with abandon.
Swigs...Hi there.
Even though the entrance ticket to see the tulips is a little more expensive, I don't think we have anything to lose to visit the very beautiful tulip garden, besides the view of the tulips there is very beautiful, we can also get 10 very beautiful free tulips. I also like the garden and the tulips, the colors are so beautiful
this is my post entry
https://hive.blog/hive-196308/@aquagelas/accompanying-my-sister-shopping-for-new-clothes
Well, that entry fee is good for almost a month, going every day if you want. And ten free tulips every time you go!
So, it is actually a good deal, even though it is pricey.
Thank you for your thoughts and words, and for dropping your link! Have a wonderful weekend! #MarketFriday loves you!
Those tulips are so beautiful... Flowers here started to wither... I would love to try biking around the farm, buy burritos from the food truck and eat on bench overlooking the tulips..
Happy Friday. Here's my post btw
https://ecency.com/hive-141359/@jane1289/a-glimpse-of-canton-china-foreign-art-trade-in-18th-19th-centuries
Thank you! This was a couple of weeks ago and already they are gone. We got a heat wave and it made many bloom before their time, (they try to grow quickly and only get inches tall when that happens) Anyway, I got to enjoy them for three weeks before they met their demise. Hehe... There was a Mexican truck, one with hamburgers and hot dogs, french fries, a Greek truck, and Asian eats with all sorts of good things! It would be so hard to choose. :)
But, I did get to sit on a bench and just enjoy the view.
Apologies, I asked you to drop the link and you already did. Not sure how I missed that! Thank you for dropping by and leaving your link!
#MarketFriday loves you!
I was only able to see tulips during the flower show here lasted for 10 days.. I might drop some photos of flowers i saw in the show next time..
Whatever you send, it will be perfect! :)
The flowers look so vibrant.😍
Thank-you! The colors were beautiful, truly vivid in person!
Thank you for dropping by and leaving your words!

Tulips will always make me go in memories of my childhood and spring. Now, summer is almost on the doorstep here in Spain, but with a traditional market that happened a few weeks ago I am back in my memories to spring. :))
Happy Friday @dswigle 😇
Funny what things make our wheels turn into our childhood memories, yes? Even here, we had a heat wave start and it was the end of the tulips. They like the cooler spring, whereas we are turning into summer temperatures tomorrow, at the latest. :)
Oh, I do love the traditional markets! Practically speaking, the other markets are faster, but, traditional are usually organic, represented by their growers (here) and people aren't in a rush like a grocery store. To impersonal! I don't want to have coffee and chat, but, it is nice to have a relaxed atmosphere.
Let's go to your market!
Happy Friday @mipiano! #MarketFriday loves you!
Do they have them already cut or do you get to pick the ones you want? Do you cut them or do they if you get to pick? It sounds really interesting. My mom went to Nova Scotia on a trip with my dad a long time ago and she fell in love with some flower that starts with an "L" that are pretty common up there. I used to get her some for Mother's Day every year after that, but she doesn't have much of a garden anymore. I think they were Lupines.
It is like a U-Pick. With your entry fee, which is $19 on weekdays, or $21 for the weekend, you get 10 free stems. Each one after that is $1 - also, any bulbs (to plant at home) are also $1. If you buy the passport, it is $75 - but you can go as many times as you want and for as long as you want. I like to pull some of the bulbs with the flowers. I can see what the flower looks like and if it is a good bulb. If you pull one by mistake, they have an amnesty box that you can put it in, you don't have to buy it.
I'm sure they were lupines. They run rampant up in the Northern tier. I love them as they self-sow and can spread in a field nicely. The Texas bluebonnets are also lupines.
BTW for the $75, I went every day almost, they are open 6 am to sunset. I get 10 free stems every time I go, even if I went twice a day. I didn't but, I did last year for flowers for the dinner table. :)
Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Wow, that is really cool! Do they give you scissors or something? Wait what are they called? Secatuers?
Very good! That is exactly what they are! I call them pruning sheers because most people don't know what I mean when I call them that!
They actually snap really well. Their stalk is an easy break and they don't grow back. I bring a pair, I keep a bucket, shovel, and pruning sheers along with bags in the car. You never know when you will need
some!! :)
They actually have some to borrow, but, they run out quickly.
Ah, okay. That is really cool.
So beautiful flowers especially the Tulips. Aside
from the Cherry Blossoms, these flowers are really my favorite. How I love to take a selfie there in the garden of tulips.
By the way, here is my participation for this week’s Market Friday.
https://ecency.com/hive-196308/@pinkchic/i-found-my-new-lucky
Have a wonderful Friday my dear, Denise.
That is so true! The cherry blossoms are so soft and delicate, ushering in the spring... tulips sometimes get here before the warmth, the coolest temperatures bring them out - ever so vibrantly!
I should take a selfie! :) I am not much of a selfie person. :) Woo-hoo! You bring me a Market! Thank you!
Have the best weekend ever! @pinkchic ❤️
#MarketFriday loves you!
The pleasure is mine my dear Denise. So lovely tulips just like you, both beautiful inside and out. Much love from me as always. Have a great day and take care!
Awwww. Thank you. You are so kind. xo
@dswigle, many symbols of flowers, one of which is the tulip flower which grows in various beautiful color. In indonesia countries some of them are still import from the four seasons country. Tulips can be symbolized for the impression of sympathy, apology and other.
My posting this week. Thank you. https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@hsidik/market-friday--to-the-cafe
Tulips are beautiful, for sure, here and there.I want to thank you for your words and for stopping by and leaving your words.
Thank you for the link! Have a great weekend!

Oh no, I really wanted to join #MarketFriday this week, I just got carried away with a lot of things😪 Hopefully i will join next week😃
No problem! We are here every week!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Awwwww I love you guys too🥰🥰
That blackberry columbine is truly so beautiful
Initially the season pass at 75 sounded high but with how many times you visited and all the tulips you hit I think it was a good deal
How nice you have some to the elderly
Here is my post for this week a cool toy I got https://peakd.com/hive-194913/@tattoodjay/market-friday-what-is-it
I know that it does seem high, but, I have gotten my money back in flowers alone before the first week is 3/4 over - and you cannot put a price on the joy some of those older people get from an unexpected bouquet.
Such a small thing that makes such a difference in their week. Somebody cares enough to send flowers. Sometimes I visit with them and give them flowers or sometimes I ask the desk person if there is someone that never gets visitors, without asking their name, I tell them to send them to them.
It is nice to pay homage to our seniors. They are of the age that they helped shape our country...
Sorry for going on and on.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your words and dropping your link! I hope you have a great weekend, JJ! @tattoodjay
#MarketFriday loves you!
I agree with you the price is great when you make the most of it as you have, booth for you friends and family and I am sure the old folks love the flowers
and your not going on at all :)
PS $75 is cheap as you will see when you see my new toy LOL
It was a pretty amazing deal and hope to do it again next year, if possible.
https://ecency.com/hive-194913/@steven-patrick/historic-corolla-village
I thought about you Denise when I heard about the wild horses and realized you had posted about this area 🙂 I love your tulip season pass and your generosity with the flowers. Your photos are beautiful. I've been really focused on planting perennials since we moved into our new place. I want to build up some flowers and reduce the annual work of planting. Once I get there, maybe some choice annuals each year as a finishing touch but first... lots of perennials 😁
Not only that, I own one of the wild ones. :)
It is so easy to be generous when you have an abundance! I go there almost every day and take pictures and pick ten stems. Sometimes, like before Easter, I picked twenty and paid the extra - I wanted a nice Easter table. :) People are so sweet and graceful in their receiving the beauty of these vibrant flowers. The older people never get flowers, I can tell. It feels good to make someone's day like that. The moment is touching.
I am with you! Perennials all the way. I usually buy one or two small marigold plants and let them go to seed at the end of the season. (I deadhead them all season) Then I take the dried flowers that have gone to seed and put them in a paper bag over winter. In the Spring, my perennials come up and when I see where they are, I sprinkle Marigold seeds, generously everywhere. I have color until frost. I deadhead and get more blooms and they get bigger and fill in the blank spaces. Marigolds!! You get more for your money and more flowers than almost anything.
But first...lots of perennials!😁
We plant lots of marigolds in and around the garden. Save blooms ✍️
Not the blooms, but the dried flowers. I usually let them stay on the plant until after the first couple of frosts, otherwise the seeds dont mature enough to germinate the next season.
Oh! Scrolling through your beautiful tulips photos was an absolutely awesome start to my day!
And that Columbine 😍
I already knew you were the sweetest person evah! But when I read how you gift tulips to everyone, well, my face hurts now from happy smiling lol! #alwaysaflower indeed😊
Hope you have the very bestest weekend dear lady (and that you find a less costly hamburger!)
!PIZZA
Hello! Hello, Kat!❤️ @generikat You know I miss your smiling face! Tulips are the best, but, the Columbine!? Sublime!
It is easy to be generous when I get 10 FREE stems every day! If I go twice, I get 20. It is convenient enough, I don't have to go out of my way, so if I pass, I stop. They are really nice and have even given me some that people have picked and left behind to die. They are always perfect and I don't keep it hot in my house, so they last for about a week or a day more. So so many tulips, there are people that don't get company or flowers.
Their faces literally bloom.
See? You make me feel good every time I read you. I have been slacking on posting once a week! Yikes! I got to get cracking!
the food is expensive from the trucks here, In Most places it is cheaper, but not in this area! It will always be #alwaysaflower for me! And you. xoxo
#MarketFriday loves you!
Good Morning, er, I mean afternoon DS!
Your reply put a smile on my face, which was a blessing indeed after three absolutely manic days of craziness!
And twenty tulips a day! ACK! Be still my heart! How delightful😊
I'm always so elated to come across any post or reply of yours, your presence in the world makes it a beyond a bit more awesome, and sometimes slacking is needed, I mean, tiptoeing through the tulips has to happen during the short time frame in which they bloom, right?
Thanks for the glorious flower footage and all the awesome DS vibes, Love ya!
!PIZZA
$PIZZA slices delivered:
@generikat(2/15) tipped @dswigle (x2)
Thank you for the pizza, Kat! ❤️ @generikat
Well, it seems like you got good value for your $75.00... As in many other aspects of life, it's all about what you make of it! The fact that you were willing to put in the effort of going back often is what gave value to your money! I'm really glad that it gave you so much joy!
$10.00 for a hamburger is a bit on the steep side though...lol! In my currency that would be R180.00+! We can get a hamburger for anything from about R25.00 (that is a small one though. But for about R75.00 we can get a decent hamburger that makes part of a decent meal!
Thank you for sharing your Tulip experience with us, @dswigle!
You can find my post for this week here.
Well, because of its proximity to where I am during the day, it is a two-minute drive, :)
So, it really is a trip that is worth ten stems each time I go? I am ahead before the first week is finished! :) That spells a good deal to me! It does give me such joy and lots of different pictures to use throughout the year.
The food trucks that came were expensive. They probably figure they have a captive audience - and people bought!!! I never did, I cannot justify supporting the overpriced, less-than-wonderful food. Usually, food trucks are amazing. Yours found a little more realistic.
Thank you for the amazing support!
#MarketFriday loves you!
That is a good deal indeed!
Regarding the food truck... I suppose it's a matter of supply and demand. The demand was there and they jumped at the opportunity. And as long as there are people who are willing to pay those prices, they will sell at those prices...
Thank you, @dswigle!
True. I suppose that is what makes a business. I would rather bring my own picnic basket, which is encouraged, by the way. It is a lovely way to spend a day with family. :)
Have a wonderful weekend, Jaco @jacoalberts
If more people will following your lead by bringing their own picnic baskets, you'll see how those prices start dropping...lol!
Thank you, Denise! You must enjoy your weekend too!
I don't think I've ever seen these flowers before. They are stunningly beautiful!
My entry for this week:
https://ecency.com/hive-196308/@tatdt/market-friday-in-seaside-victory-park
Aren't they gorgeous!?? I simply love them and guess what? They spread nicely! Every year, they grow a little more and a little more. I will be going to the nursery this week to see if they have anything different/new for this year.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words and dropping the link!
Have a nice weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!
What a feast for the eyes, and senses I'm sure when there to experience it first hand! I must agree with you, that double-pleat blackberry columbine is absolutely gorgeous!
Your photographs are simply sublime, as always Denise.
My contribution this week is Blueberry Cafe Delicacies
I just love spring flowers! Especially after the Christmas season, when all the glitter and glamour is whisked away with the ornaments, leaving us with nothing to color our world, until the break of spring.
You are so sweet and leave me the kindest comments!❤️Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words and dropping your link! Have a fabulous weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Hey, more tulips from you, one more semi-travel post from me :)
I hope the horses will come close soon. I wouldn't mind a few more shots of them :)
Have a lovely weekend ahead!
I should have included one, shouldn't I have? Here he is. The only one to come close. He knows i'ts dinnertime and I have come to feed them.
A travel post! Thank you! Always a fun time to travel with you !
Thank you! A wonderful weekend to you also.

$1 to $1.50. I thought the supermarket up their cherry tomatoes from $1.90 to $2.20 was a rip off.
Anyway, good deal or not... still have to eat.
https://hive.blog/hive-105017/@ace108/marketfriday-two-meals-when-there-was-no-water-or-by-ace108
It's crazy, isn't it, Ace?? @ace108 I am amazed at some of the prices doubling and tripling. Tomatoes are high here too! Unbelievable! Whoever thought prices would go through the roof like this? Our pork has gone up like the rest of the world, but, it is so cheap here, it still seems like a good buy.
I hope all is well with you in your world. Enjoy your weekend and thank you for dropping your link!
#MarketFriday loves you!
You're welcome. Enjoy the pork.
Hi @dswigle, thank you for hosting this nice Friday e-meetup on Hive! Beautiful flower photos. And I was happy that my post also has a photo of Tulips. This time I don't forget. Here is the link to my Market Friday post:

I hope life is treating you and the family well. Be well and have a great weekend.
#MarketFriday loves you!
The tulip is the flower of the year for you. Actually, I think I may be wrong, the year is long and who knows what flowers will appear soon. I'm trying to imagine... roses?
When I saw the abundance of tulips in your life, I'm glad I don't suffer the same. I wouldn't have room to plant them!
Beautiful and very colorful spring especially for you, Denise!
My post, all memories. I hope to turn them into reality... A Quiet Place
Well, I have a passport, so it makes it a great deal to go there. One can go every day, and get ten free stems, every time you go. I stop by every day on my way home. It is convenient and I get new flowers! You cannot beat that!
It is very colorful, for sure! Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words. I love your stories and memories, always! Thank you again!!
I hope your weekend is going to be awesome!

The weekend was pretty nice and warm, @dswigle! Now it's cold again but hopefully next weekend will be... spring again.
When I first came to Canada with my mother, my father took us to the Botanical gardens where we admired tulips. Even as a four year old I was in awe of their beauty.
I have to admit, your favourite flower really takes the cake. Wow! I would stare at that delicate masterpiece forever.
Over a year 75 dollars would probably be worth it if you could make your way out there.
Thanks for sharing the beauty!
I think it has everything to do with their striking good looks. :) Even as little girls, we recognize good looking!
Thank you! The Double-Pleat blackberry Columbine is delicious, isn't it? They spread really well and I will have a fort of them some one of these years. :)
The $75 is a lot of money, for sure. But it is worth it because I stop by every day and pick 10 flowers, which are free - every day. I made my money back 3/4 of the way through the first week. I had three weeks after that. I am close to being near there every day, so it is very convenient. And I get my free flowers!
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello Denise ✌️
Gosh, seems you found the Tulip Heaven ^^ the entry is pricy but definitely worth it. What a colorful day this must have been..! Thank you for that splash on my screen 🎨🙃
Here's a really quick resume of my shopping afternoon :)
Have a good weekend !
I did find tulip heaven! $75 - I know that it does seem high, but, I have gotten my money back in flowers alone before the first week is 3/4 over - and you cannot put a price on the joy some of those older people get from an unexpected bouquet.
Such a small thing that makes such a difference in their week. Somebody cares enough to send flowers. Hello! Hello! I hope you are having a great day already!
#MarketFriday loves you!
True that ! I'm totally not shocked by the price as it represents the works of all the people invested in the festival, plus as you said :
This is indeed really priceless ! No number or definition of financial value can compete with that, and it's the beauty of the thing 🌺 🌱 !
I'm doing good, thank you ! How could it be different as it's my birthday today haha :)
Have an enjoyable and pleasant weekend dear @dswigle !
Love the flowers

All these flowers looks so beautiful and amazing. As the summers are approaching, these plants begin to grow up much better. Next Friday I also went to the market so I will definitely share the pictures with you.

Well, that entry fee is good for almost a month, going every day if you want. And ten free tulips every time you go!
So, it is actually a good deal, even though it is pricey.

That's great @dswigle! We're excited to see your accomplishments on Hive! We'll continue to support you to achieve your next goals!
Ohh wow, these flowers just remind me of my childhood days since this one is one of my favorite flowers of all time, aside from being easy to draw on my paper 🌷 I'm always fascinated with its beautiful colors. Unfortunately, I know I could never have this kind of flower since I believe it doesn't thrive in my country, and if we have some exports sure they are too expensive. Anyway, Thanks for sharing these photos @dswigle another flower added to my vocabulary today is the blackberry columbine 😍.
By the way here's my contribution for #MarketFriday. Have a happy weekend💐.

The double-pleated blackberry columbine is newer to me also! I had not seen anything like it and was happy to add it to my collection. The tulips, I also have childhood memories of them. My mom loved them and planted a fewer bulbs in her garden.
It is my pleasure to share this and more with the #MarketFriday community. Thank you for dropping the link!

The blackberry columbine might be a bit expensive but it is beautiful. I have not seen one here.
Here is my post for today

I didn't give you the price, but, it was pretty expensive. You can only get one at a time as they are on the expensive side. I hope you have a great weekend!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Oh, I thought that is the one for the $14.99 a pot, I misunderstood. Have a great weekend too.
-Hi Ma'am @dswigle Thank you for sharing your wonderful post! From the flower farm the beautiful tulips, looks fresh and so colorful!!!. The trees too are refreshing, and the Food truck, full of delicious food and very colorful, here we also have mobile food stalls but cheaper price hehe! But simple yet delicious food too..
Let me share with you my simple entry into the #MarketFriday. I hope you like it!

Well, that entry fee is good for almost a month, going every day if you want. And then free tulips every time you go! The trucks are very expensive!

-Thanks a lot Ma'am @dswigle! Have a blessed evening!🙏
I don't know much about flowers, but I find them very beautiful to behold, wish we had more values and markets for flowers over here, the only ones we get to see are the few nature blessed us with in our little garden. These tulip pictures are beautiful🥰, I haven't seen one before, I find the double pleat black berry columbine bold and unique.

Welcome to #MarketFriday! Where do you hail from? I thank you for stopping by and leaving your words behind.
I appreciate you dropping the link as well!

From Lagos, Nigeria.
Thank you for having me.
Very good. It is almost dinnertime there, lunchtime here.
Yea, you are correct😃
Fields of flowers inspiring to witness, imagination runs wild on perfume filling the air. Food trucks don't sound a good option, a picnic basket lunch on a blanket more ideal.
Empty open green paddock looks most inviting as well!

That is one of the great things about these fields! The reason they have so many benches and picnic tables is so people can bring a picnic lunch, in fact, they encourage you to do so. The trucks have been added over the years for those who forget or would rather eat out.
You are right about the perfume in the air. The scent literally carries you.
The fields are always filled with green, even in the winter, although now it is so green, the sugar content is too high for one of my ponies to eat Thank you for such a lovely comment, Joan!
The weekend began in a most beautiful way!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Only seen sunflower fields on large scale like this locally, mustard fields in Europe when in flower, colours here are stunning one can only imagine visiting in person.
Plenty sugar cane where I live your ponies would enjoy !LOLZ
Happy Sunday with !LUV

It's fun to share the flowers and it sounds like you do that very nicely. What a sweet idea to leave them for the old folks and designate them for those that normally have nothing. One can only imagine how that would brighten a day and no telling how many days after.
So much to love about photos of fields of flower.
Ever since you told me about the fields down there, three different ones have come to my attention here, that I knew nothing about! They were there, I just wasn't aware - and they were further out in a more rural setting.
With more time on my hands and fewer obligations, it is really fun to enjoy these fields of dreams. Nothing lets you enjoy it quite as much as sharing. ❤️
I always silently thank you, every time the opportunity arises for me to get an unlimited pas in the Lavender Fields, Tulip Farm, and very recently found another flower farm! So now I have two to choose from. They do cut flowers.
So, I sincerely want to thank you. Again and again. They really are that good.
You're entirely welcome for my accidental help. I probably would not have found the one here if it were not for some random post on FB. I got my older sister Vicky into it and then last year we gave Mom a subscription and flowers kept coming and coming all over. Sometimes the bouquets are large enough to share. Now the woman that has the flower farm comes to my little town on Wednesday's in the summer to sell more of her flowers at a little farmer's market. Pretty neat.
I wonder if there are more around here that I don't know about. I have some friends in the next county over that farm and one field is usually sunflowers. They don't do the public thing though, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I visited when they were in bloom. I may have to look around some more and see what else may be going on That I don't know about yet.
They also do that here with the farmer's markets! I thought that was pretty cool and how I found out about the first flower one I went to. (not the tulip/sunflower farm or the lavender) but the cut flower ones.
The tulip farm pulls the bulbs at the end of the season and plants sunflowers, so my passport is good for BOTH! I love that!
I cannot use all the sunflowers I can have, I run out of places to give them to! :) Isn't that a tough life? :)
Thanks, El! I hope you are having a great day!
And all I see, in my memory, is my trip on just such a quaint little bicycle, eating a stroopwaffel as we cycled through the vibrantly happy tulip fields in Holland. Thank you for the reminder. Those tulips are really something else
Yes!!! I have the fondest memories from there @buckaroobaby!
Ooooooooooo! Yummy.
Those clogs are so comfortable
These are only okay, but, I couldn't resist having a couple of them in my pantry. The ones that are freshly made? Yes, please! My pantry is such a disaster right now, I cropped te picture! LOL
Nobody believes those wooden shoes are comfortable! :) I still wear them. :)
Hi,Tracey!
I do remember you expressing your love for the Blackberry Columbine before. Seventy-five dollars for up to 70 tulips a week for 2 months is not a bad price, if I go that right. Now you gotta find yourself a lilac farm, I say this as I spy my neighbours blooms across the street. Just waiting for the right night to make my raid and make my lilac spirits. So good:)
https://peakd.com/photography/@prydefoltz/market-friday-and-flowers-blog-new-digital-art-and-photography
You are so right! Three years ago, I bought my first Blackberry Columbine and keep adding to it.'
Lilacs! I have several lilac bushes, as does my neighbors. They are simply delightful. I say you make a play for it under the cover of darkness, as planned. Lilac spirit? Do tell!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words- and dropping your link! ❤️ I hope you both are doing well!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Lilacs are edible. Just soak them in your favorite libation or just water and make lemonade or tea from the water. Very nice:)

Very beautiful, is what comes to my mind
If by accident I make it into a place like this, I will never want to leave. The beauty is soothing and could be therapeutic.
Thank goodness you know just the right people to share the tulips with. And I hope that someone out there without a companion will find the tulips worthy.
I had a funfilled experience as market Friday visited me right where I was on Friday. So sorry this is coming in so late.

No worries. It happens and I'm still working on them, so your timing is perfect. :)
I hope you have a nice week!
#MarketFriday loves you !
God bless you 🌹🌼💖💕
And you also ! XO
I am always attracted to these tulip flowers as much as I love the ranunculus flowers. The only thing I don't like is that they bloom only for a very short period. In India there are very few places which support their habitat. I will try to grow them during winters in my garden and see how I get succeed in it.
They look so dazzling and pretty. It's a steal deal, I would have also gone for it. The first time I had visited a Tulip garden in Kashmir, I had fallen in love with them.
It must be such a delight to spend the day here with so much of color around.
Here is my Market Friday post

Hi Ma'am! I am so amazed with all your photos of beautiful tulips.
And here is my entry on market friday. Have a good day!
