{Orange Tulips compliments of Cut Flower Wholesale - Atlanta}

When we did go to the Dutch King's Birthday Celebration, we all received a lovely bouquet of Orange Tulips at the end of the evening. So I want to share these lovelies with you here.
In our veranda in a Baccarat crystal jug.
There were many business sponsors for the wonderful event and one of them was:
Cut Flower Wholesale Atlanta ←just click the link
We came home next day after one night at the
Hyatt Place Atlanta - Perimeter Center 
It was a lovely time, even though we went three days in a row back and forth to Atlanta.
To Naylor Hall, it was a one-way trip of 155 miles or some 250 km.
Next day we did go back for picking up a dear friend at the Atlanta Airport International Terminal
That was another round trip of 400 km or 250 miles!
Blissful time we had... Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

      Thank you and they indeed are a lovely color. We planted some double orange Angélique tulips but they did all rot while we were in Arizona... Too much rain here in Georgia!
      Hugs and happy weekend.

      That felt really like an honor receiving such a bouquet. Orange reflects the royal House of Orange and yes, tulips very much represent The Netherlands. I too love orange, a happy and sunny color.
      Wishing you also a productive and wonderful week ahead.
      Hugs and love to my Japanese friend.

    1. Lieve Nieneke,
      Ja, dat doe je inderdaad automatisch!
      Wij vierden het de eerste keer op Curaçao toen we die dag op het vliegveld, voor ons vertrek zo vorstelijk onthaald werden op allerlei lekkers uit Nederland.
      Die tulpen zijn gegarandeerd ingevlogen voor de gelegenheid; mooie afronding van een geslaagd feest!
      Jij ook heel veel beterschap nog en liefs.

    1. Dearest Janey,
      You are lucky for having your own local Trader Joe's as we must drive over two hours one-way to ours! Yes, they often have lovely cut flowers and I wish we could live near one.
      Yes, you detected the blue KLM houses rightly and we just received a lovely gift from friend Mariëlle who carried us the latest version, which can be purchased directly from KLM. We have the complete series and want to still buy each year the newest one for as long as we got some windowsil space...
      Hugs and happy new week.

  19. Mariette,
    I've missed a few of your posts, so I went back and caught up on all the celebrations. I loved your orange outfit that you wore for the occasion! The tulips are very pretty, and a happy reminder of your time. Glad you had a nice visit with your friend, but what a lot of driving! Have a good week. xo

      Knowing how precious time is, I myself have a hard time keeping up with blogging... But we did have some very special events and happy times.
      The driving here in the USA is always a lot, especially compared to the tiny country of The Netherlands!
