My tulips were on their way out, and just about to loose all of their petals. Right after this shot they all fell off one by one.

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. #5989276Laurie Daily May 28, 2008
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! #5989523Nancy (Peaches) Harker May 28, 2008
