Beautiful photo. I like the texture of the waning flower, and the contrast of the purple and yellow colors.

I would never have guessed that was a tulip.

Thanks Catsynth, there is definitely something about flowers as they wane.


It is a species tulip (tarda I think) they tend to open out in the sunshine

Old age is kind to flowers.

And to nurses too!

People are always taking photos of perfect flowers, but these are much more interesting!

jams o donnell said...

Agreed. Declining flowers are more interesting in my view

I'd like to look half as good as this when I am in decline.
