When I was young I enjoyed sitting in the garden enjoying the flowers and birds on my own, but I was limited to only one activity when being seated which is reading a book.
Now with my laptop and the Internet, I can almost do anything from chatting or playing games with friends, to shopping and even making money online without leaving my garden!
A game I love a lot is heads up poker or going head to head with another poker player, one on one that is. That means that each game doesn’t take hours and playing it online in the comfort of my garden I can still smell the flowers in stead of cigarettes and alcohol in a casino
If you love to join in a game of poker but can’t remember the rules, you can go to bet365.com as they are the best place online to learn how to play poker. They offer free money tables and you don’t need to pay a deposit as long as you are learning how to play.

Tulip in Keukenhof
before the end of May the door of the spring bulb garden Keukenhof near Amsterdam in The Netherlands will be closed until next spring. I still have a lot new spring bulb flowers that didn’t bloom yet. But I suppose they have to put an early date in case of a bad weather conditions make that nothing is blooming anymore but tourists are still flocking in… 
Meanwhile I am struck with a bad, bad headache these last few days, so updating the tulip pictures is not really a good idea. But if you really want more flowers… you can always go shopping at your local florist

I am so happy that my Queen of the Night black tulips are finally blooming
No, it’s not too late, this is one of the late blooming tulip flowers (as you know, Keukenhof: the biggest tulip garden is open until end May, so you need late blooming tulips to still attract the crowds).
Ok, ok, I agree: these tulips are not completely black, but deep purple.
Since these bulbs are quite rare and expensive (it can take up to 20 years to create a new "black tulip"), I put them all in a bucket which I perforated at the bottom.
This bucket I put in the soil in November and now my black tulips are blooming. And it makes a nice flower arrangement as well having them all snuggling up to each other.
Soonest all the leaves are dead, I dig out my bucket and put it in the basement to let the bulbs rest.
Other cultivars are La Tulipe Noire, Black Diamond and Black Beauty but I prefer my Queen of the Night black tulip.

Some of us love the outdoors and some prefer lounging in front of the TV but for me personally, I spend most of my free time out side especially in the natural environment.
It is good way for me to relax and unwind and I love spending my time taking pictures of flowers and the natural surroundings including rivers and lakes.
So when I travel with family and friends with similar interests and inclinations, we like to backpack and rough it out in the open.
One of our most memorable hiking trips was in Colorado where we spent close to 2 weeks in the wild open country and it was incredible.
Of course a lot of planning went into it as it was not a spur of the moment trip as we need to ensure that we have all the necessary camping gear , backpacks that are hardy enough to withstand the outdoors, survival packs and outdoor clothing.
The best place to get all you need is at Rocky Mountain Trail and it is located in Buena Vista , Colorado so it was very convenient for us.
All we had to do was to buy all the stuff that we need and we were on our way.
In the end it all worked out very well for us and we had a tremendous and memorable time taking tons of pictures of flowers, mountains, rivers etc…

I have been living in Europe for ages now, but that doesn’t prevent me to love my Chinese roots and to get excited when China get’s in the news again for the Olympic games or its tulips… kind of
A symbol of Chinese culture has been made authentic Dutch tulips : 24000 tulips were used to make this Chinese Tulip Dragon in Keukenhof in the Netherlands.
… I do prefer real dragons but just imagine: 24.000 tulips…
Of course the dragon, measuring 10 by 15 meter, stands for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games that will start at 8-8-2008. That are 3 ‘8’s…
For those who still have no clue…an Olympic flag is flying next to the dragon, for good wishes for the first Summer Olympic Games in China ever.
For those that still don’t know what Keukenhof is all about: it’s the most popular spring attractions in the Netherlands, displaying six million blooming tulip and many, many other spring flower bulbs.

Purple Tulips
The best spot on earth to walk through purple tulips in between the garden flowers of Keukenhof. The spring bulbs are now in full bloom at the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.
I do love to stroll around in floral shops with big green houses, but nothing compares to Keukenhofs’ 7 million spring flowers, mostly tulips, yet also earlier in spring daffodils and hyacinths. 80 acres of spring flowers and tulip fields outside the Dutch town of Lisse, nearby Amsterdam, will still be open until may 20th.

For those who can’t make it to Europe this year, the tulip festival in Holland, Mich., is as close as it gets to the Dutch tulip gardens. Holland is a quaint town with Dutch roots, about a 2.5-hour drive from Chicago. Its annual tulip festival takes place May 5-12.

What do tulip flowers do when it rains?
Blooming bulb on a rainy day
On a rainy day, tulips flowers close their colourful petals, so stamen and pistil inside the tulip flower stay dry.
It’s not that a tulip can take a walk to look for shelter
Yet flowers are much more than seemingly motionless creatures!

I wasn’t impressed much when shopping for flowers, I first saw these pink tulips. The flowers didn’t even open as much as one should expect from a tulip.
Yet having a look inside there is more to discover than just pink! Flowers just keep amazing and surprising me
