Early tulips turn up in Lewes

I went to Lewes last Flower Friday, armed with my camera to corner the daffodils. But before I could make it very far, these two tulips ambushed me outside the Fisher Martin House! I hope the majority of their comrades can hold their horses until the 8th annual Lewes Tulip Festival April 6-15 so I can bow to photograph the Orange Emperor like last year.
