Description

I posted a mega digifiddled tulip a couple of days ago, and realised that some folk thought it was a version of the purple one to which I linked it. Well, it really was those colours, and here it is without the postwork. It is one of the scores of tulips in the Triumph group, and there are many other red and yellow varieties. It was in a mixed bag, but this is probably the right name if anyone fancies planting them next autumn.

Holland Queen. She's beautifully-dressed. I love the crisp colors: they're so deliciously warm and the intimacy of this shot is really appealing. Though I'm quite fond of insects (which would look at this and simply think: "Salad!" I have to say that I love plant forms as well: let's face it, I like anything alive...except ticks and bedbugs, and anything that sees me as a food or reproductive resource, but that's a topic for another conversation.) This is brilliant. Those dew-drops are magical.

What a brilliant image! She is quite the showoff. This would make a good design for a dress.

it's huge, full size, and it oozes with tulip-dom, soaked on deep yellows and deep reds, and looking like a big chilled desert or salad. It's delectable. I didn't think your digifiddled tulip was the purple one, but seeing this makes me understand why you'd jump in and go for the cosmos in a tulip: It's quite commanding, in full view. And with those water drops, it's a delicate dessert. Big bold luscious shot, Andrea. A real eye catcher. (And btw, re Chip's great comment: Insects prefer their salads at room temperature. I say this because I know several insects on a first-name basis---they come in and diss my art, and even rework the stuff when I'm not looking---and they've said, many times: "Room temperature, skip the water-drops---too soggy---a little basil, a little olive oil, we're happy..." One fly left me a book of photos, with the note: "READ this. Learn how to shoot, for god's sake!" He's got a Leica. $20,000. A Billingham bag. Shops on Jermyn Street. I get classy bugs in my place...)
