"The tulip's petals shine in dew,
All beautiful, but none alike.
(James Montgomery, On Planting a Tulip-Root)****
I found this beautiful tulip in Square Roger Stephane in Paris on April 13, 2009.
You picked an uncommon looking tulip and make it a real beauty. The muted lighting, the color and the highlights on the edges of the petals, and careful selection of the background make this a standout. Very nicely done.
