Next to it was the following caption:
LEST WE FORGET: Plant "Prinses Irene" tulips this Remembrance Day to honour Canadian veterans. These vibrant orange flowers were created in the Netherlands to thank Canadian soldiers for their efforts in the Second World War. Streaks of purple appear on the petals in the shape of the maple leaf. -- J.E. (cited from "Inspiring ideas for Everyday Living", November 2010, p 24)
What a wonderful way of remembering our veterans on days other than Remembrance Day.

And of course it is remembrance day! Well it is here in australia anyway.
It's a gorgeous tulip!
What a lovely idea. I thought maybe it was too late to plant bulbs, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll have to see if I can find some of these.
