Link above has information about tulips.  This tulip bed was planted last November according to the gardener.  These were intended for a wedding that my wife attended last weekend.  She had to take me by to see them today. What do you think of them?

Purple? or

. . . do you prefer red?

Purple calming color

Elevations of the mind

Regal, religious

Red blazes away

Marking excitement galore

Passions ignited

The above link contains more information about the color purple than I ever imagined.  Years ago I did study and research on The Color Personality Test but I never fathomed the depth and interest this person has for color.

Assessment of color personality has advanced since I did my original work with it.  The test I used asked people to make triangles of ugly and then pretty colors.  A person made three of each and the results were compared to obtain the analysis. In this link you can get color personality results in just a few minutes. http://www.colorcode.com/personality_test/

There are variations out there to explore if you like.  As my grandson says…”google it!”
