I'm also a big fan of tulips. I live near the park in Ottawa where they hold the annual tulip festival. It's always a great time.
They're just so versatile. Even a single one has great minimalist beauty. A nice bouquet adds a burst of color to match or complement a room. And their straight, controlled shape can make beautiful displays or patterns outdoors. I also enjoy them at all stages of bloom too.
The ones at the Ottawa festival are genetically engineered to form specific colour petals (including colour gradients and patterns on the petals themselves), and then the bulbs are strategically planted to form really beautiful flowerbeds with nice patterns or even simple images. It's like pixel art with flowers ๐ท
