Tulip in decay
A visit to the Eden Project at the beginning of May was not the best time to go for tulips this year, although there were still some in bud outside. In the Mediterranean Biome though it was a different story. Large terracotta pots (and oh, how I wish I could (a) afford and (b) lift such pots) contained tulips in their dying throes. However, with the light pouring through the windows it proved to be an opportunity for capturing their ‘stained-glass’ beauty.
Earth laughs in flowers 
Gorgeous capture
Perfection in every way 🙂
Glorious! 🙂 🙂 But do you know the effect that Sue’s had on me? Can’t help but imagine them wizened. 🙂 Happy Monday!
😀😀😂
I prefer them when the light shines through. Meg’s gone down the decayed look too.
Meg’s a bit all round decayed, what with this latest dose of lergy. 😦 I love the light shining through too.
She’s not poorly too is she? I thought it was just the family and assumed colds, nothing worse I hope. Are you meeting up with her and Gilly?
The family were at Loch Lomond this weekend, camping. Meg wasn’t going but she’s down with cold. Hopefully by this time next Sunday I’ll have found them. 🙂 🙂
Loch Lomond? You are surely kidding me?
That’s what I thought too! Ask Meg 🙂 🙂
Such a beautiful colour.
They are like stained-glass. Beautiful shot with the light filtering through the petals, Jude!
I love it when the sun shines through the petals.
Nice one, Jude! My kind of thing, as you know!
But, as Jo remarks, even more wizened…
Well, true enough!
Weird, this comment ended up in my trash folder!
Oh, what are you doing to me, Jude?!
Ah! I realise why now. Because I have “ru” in the spam box so “true” triggered it.
Fair enough!
This is so beautiful – I love the colour, with the light shining through.
