Great shot and they don't look like tulips at this stage and from this perspective--rather like some new, exotic specimen :) Great color, clarity and detail as always, Laurie. #5989276

Thanks so very much to you all for your comments. I had to really work gently to flatten the petals so they did not totally fall apart. My initial goal was to get a better view of the inside one of the flowers and before I knew it, I was peeling back the whole bunch! #5989523
