As a floral designer, I have a special appreciation for tulips. After being cut they still grow, dance, and bow in a vase of water. Tulips were a Victorian symbol of true love. I see in your photo the storyteller’s chair and many beautiful tulips eager to tell their own colourful stories of true love. You are a genius photographer . I’m learning so much just viewing your posts. Many thanks! Shelley
