    You did capture the beauty of color, very fresh and clear.

    Oh, I just adore tulips! I think I’ll order some bulbs for this year. :)

    • Until we moved to Salt Lake, I wasn’t such a fan. Now it seems I take more pictures of tulips than anything else and I’ve grown to love them. Thanks for stopping by, Katie.

        I wasn’t a fan until I got 300 bulbs from a shop that had them on clearance for $10!! They were all yellow and looked amazing when they bloomed. Ever since then, tulips have held a special place in my flower heart. :)

      • They’ve always been my husband’s favorite flower. (When we got married I arranged to have all the wedding bouquets made up of roses — my favorite, but I surprised him by using tulips for my my bouquet.) I didn’t know then that we’d end up in Salt Lake where we have the widest variety of tulips I’ve ever seen. Each season I come upon new (at least to me) cultivars.

    Gorgeous! Great light!

  7. vanbraman says:

    I like the way that the sun illuminates the petals and also shadows the center of the flower. Great picture.

  8. Pat says:

    Lovely translucent petals!

    Hi Rona,
    I love the color; an Autumn hue, indeed!
    A beautiful creation.

    I love the multi color, the above lighting and the clarity. Beautiful shot.

    • Thanks very much, Jim. Without the sun, that flame pattern normally looks much more purple and I think the tulips’ color gradation looks even prettier. So in the end I guess it’s a toss-up: either dramatic lighting or beautiful display of color.

  12. Stunning ! makes me yearn for spring already.

  13. I love tulips and have never seen this color. Your photography is brilliant! The colours within the tulip reminds me of fall leaves and their blends of colours; beautiful!

  16. Just about to order tulips for a job….this could be on the list! Love the slate gray background, sublime colour combo :)

    Lovely picture and thanks for the like. This reminds me of a cold Spring walk in Sörmland, Sweden, Prinses Irene covered in rain drops. I am new to blogging so let’s see if this works: http://roddyfox.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/prinsesirene.jpg

  19. Beautiful images Rona! ~Matt
