what a rush of color. as far as the name maybe marigolds but probably I am wrong

The one in the back is a pansy. grin I saw tulips like that in the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands www.keukenhof.nl but I don't know what type they are. There are some similar ones that can be found here http://brecks.com/search.asp?t=c&c=7&pc=&showall=1 (I have no connection to that site, except that I remembered the name from the catalogs my grandma used to order from).

Thanks a jillion, kierab! I can always rest assured there is someone out there who will come to my aid on the subject of flowers, plants and trees. This helps immensely because there are other flowers at Descanso Gardens that resemble the above and now I'm sure they're tulips.

that is awesome flowers!!!!! and excelllleent secne!!!!:)

These are a breed of tulip. Its one of the fancy ones. Or at least that's what it looks like. I get a Dutch Bulb catalog and this is what they look like anyway. I can't really see the leaves tho so it could be another type of tuber, bulb or rizome. :-) Beautiful photo.

Holy cow, what in your face colors, cool shot goodoldboy!!

Very beautiful flower, Harry, glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving day, too, lol.

Wow, now thats some kinda loud. Vibrant post. ;-)

Very vibrant colors and the red and yellow always a winner to catch the eye.

WoW! Those vivid colors...love it!

Oh yes, very nice and beautiful picture of lfower, I like these colors abnd this lighting!!! Good day ;)

Gorgeous tulips! One of the things I miss most about living in this part of Florida is that you can't grow these types of spring flowering bulbs.

love the colors on these

Beautiful~
