   1. Until we moved to Salt Lake, I wasn’t such a fan. Now it seems I take more pictures of tulips than anything else and I’ve grown to love them. Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

      1. I wasn’t a fan until I got 300 bulbs from a shop that had them on clearance for $10!! They were all yellow and looked amazing when they bloomed. Ever since then, tulips have held a special place in my flower heart. 🙂

      2. They’ve always been my husband’s favorite flower. (When we got married I arranged to have all the wedding bouquets made up of roses — my favorite, but I surprised him by using tulips for my my bouquet.) I didn’t know then that we’d end up in Salt Lake where we have the widest variety of tulips I’ve ever seen. Each season I come upon new (at least to me) cultivars.

7. I like the way that the sun illuminates the petals and also shadows the center of the flower. Great picture.

    1. Thanks very much, Jim. Without the sun, that flame pattern normally looks much more purple and I think the tulips’ color gradation looks even prettier. So in the end I guess it’s a toss-up: either dramatic lighting or beautiful display of color.
