My first tulip of the year

Spotting the first tulip in my front yard gave me a quiet excitement after returning from a walk around the neighborhood on a glorious Sunday afternoon.

This will not be the prettiest tulip this year nor in any previous years. I plant quite a few bulbs each year in different varieties for early, intermediate and late blooming.

I suddenly realized what it meant to be the first. There is something unique about being the first, a kind of a value inherently embedded in the human's mind. A very special distinction is given to just being the first, be it the first kiss, the first child, or any first experiences.

With that notion, allow me to present the first tulip of the season.
