the world is ready for you

Tulips in reverse. From petals falling, to exposed inner workings, each step of maturing has been appreciated here.

There is no other flower that really screams SPRING to me than tulips. Daffodils are nice but not as cheerful as tulips.

Tulips are my faves. I also like them when the petals dry and the stalks go wayward. They have such a particular simple Beauty, as you say - in each stage. x x x

Do you do that thing to keep tulips for longer? You make a tiny incision at the base of the flower with a pin or a knife tip. It's supposed to stop them growing and drooping. I'm doing it for the first time and don't know yet if it will work.
It does seem a bit cruel but that's probably silly.
