BTW, red on a racing car is not exclusive to Ferrari. Historically it designated an Italian race car, originally a car made in Italy or driven by an Italian, and later (in some racing categories) it designated the nationality of the team that entered the car. Thus, the red Porsche driven by an Italian though made in Germany. French cars were blue, British cars were green, USA white and German cars silver.
I enjoy looking at the different progress of the flowers at your latitude and ours. We are about even with Rome and Athens. The tulips here have come and gone.
They're so striking, and they've held up well. It's a gorgeous display. I haven't seen any around here for a while. I think it's because they've been beaten mercilessly by the rain.
