My friend Helen has been growing some lushous double tulips in her garden and I loved them so much (and took photos!) that she very kindly gave me some so that I could take as many photos as I liked.
I watched them open up to the sunshine and I loved their blowsy abandon. The creamy white colour was highlighted with yellow streaks at the centre whilst shadows cast grey tones over the curved petals. Even when they started to die back they retained an elegantly sculptured curl.
All I have left is my watercolour painting.....
