Latest try on capturing essential tulip-ness:
Zillion
Had an extremely fruitful meeting with a sub-group of the dKvhT people today, then went to celebrate a friends birthday, then came home to find much beauty to be photographed. This botanical tulip is named ‘Little Beauty’ – a trite name, but much can be forgiven a tulip that is so very interesting. So I made a zillion photographs, then pruned my crop hard, and below are the ones I like best. This vivid magenta is a difficult color to do justice to, it’s either too bright or too insipid. I tempered it with green, some brownish yellow, and blue.
