I am endlessly fascinated by tulips. So far, so unoriginal. Even supermarket bouquets can yield extraordinary beauty, especially if left a little longer than most florists would deem appropriate. And our local florist often has really unusual, dramatic blooms – parrot tulips, “double” tulips that burst out like peonies…

Usually, I photograph them indoors, the dark green of our furthest kitchen wall giving a perfect “studio” backdrop, but sometimes I like to take them outside in the sunshine.
