got my first blue egg today, not sure if its from poppy or tulip.

so excited, seems like we've been waiting for the blue eggs forever.

i carefully carried it in, and thought i'd give it a bit of a wash before getting a nice fluffy photo.

but i squashed it and it broke.... so sad :cry:

so now waiting for tomorrow
