it looks like someone took a brush and
painted the red lines onto the tulip.
perhaps it was the bee hiding inside?

It's like a burst of fire. It literally reaches off the screen and touches you with light. Amazing.

Smashing...I'm hoping to see one of these parrot tulips in person soon.
In your expert hands they are my favorites. Just LOVE these close-ups. Great Job!!

Another brilliant shot . Great colors

Un soleil sur l'écran ; c'est une explosion de couleurs.... Bonne journée.

Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another kind of Morning sun..........Bright !!!!

That wud brighten up anybody's day. Well done Jack

Really bright ! A superb photo !

woah awesome bright colours

A lot of light, many colors, and we perceive the spring !

Another spectacular flower! Tulips are quite interesting. I learned that they are originally from Turkey, and the first documented stock market crash was with tulips, in Holland in February 1637...

The atmosphere is of summer, rather than spring. Nice vivid shot !

That is an unusual but beautiful tulip, the colors and patterns are wonderful

Lovely tight crop

Perfect done!!!! *****

As a mask of the sun ... rays of light in red and the other one amaraillo brilliant. A composition that speaks of the joy of light and color ... as you know it! A hug and happy weekend! Muchos besos amigo Jack! Adela

impossibly beautiful. And the way you use light shows a masterful knowing.

A blast of yellow, beautiful shot my friend.

Superbe tulipe, les couleurs sont magnifiques !

Stunning color and clarity. Like the flames of the sun.

Wow, I need my sunglasses for this one, Jack.

Visual, floral fire.

It looks like a colorful bird.

Excellent, well caught, well framed.

Very beautiful.

Glorious yellow! My favorite!

Wow that is amazing, the red lines look like they are painted on. Great vivid colours.

Bright and Brilliant!! super shot jack !!

I think.. they are called peacock tulips when they fold out like that. Really beautiful Jack!

impresionante color de este tulipan, excelente!!

it reminds me of the flowers from Alice in Wonderland that could talk, very lion like.

A powerful sunburst that you have captured here. The colors and markings remind me of flames.

Those colours are outrageous!! I've got a b/w one of this same variety of tulip lined up for Wednesday (i think).

Gorgeous, Jack. I've been seeing some ruffly and large species of tulips too. I'm amazed at the huge variety out there.

Whoa!!!

unusual and beautiful...maybe its a genetic flaw but its so beautiful..superb light..great colors
