My favorite flower to photograph is the tulip. Other than the perfect primary colors and the simplicity of the petals, I think it is my favorite because I find my self observing tulips each year on a beautiful Spring day...a day that I waited for and longed for in February. A tulip is the perfect package...

Color
Simplicity
Lives during a beautiful season

I really like this; the colors are so vibrant. They feel alive. My favorite is the purple (:

Tulips are beautiful. Can't get them to flower in my garden as it does not get cold enough in winter to set the flowers and I am too lazy to dig them up and put them in the fridge!

The purple of a tulip is almost like velvet...beautiful, I agree.

J,
However something to consider...there is nothing better than coming home after a long hot day's work, opening the fridge and grabbing an ice cold tulip!
