This photograph has a great initial impact with vibrant red shown against a black background. The angle of the flower works well to show the great detail in the petals. Very nice!

Very interesting. I didn't know you could grow tulips inside but why not? the petals have caught the sunlight perfectly on the front petals and cast beautiful shading. this would be a nice picture to paint! as well

Thank you so much! I actually get these at Costco, they are in large clear glass bowls, the bulbs are placed on a plastic frame to allow just the bottoms to be in the water. I appreciate your review!

A beautiful close up of this very attractive tulip. The lighting is excellent and the texture in the petals is very nice. Outstanding colors that look great against that dark background.

This is a beautiful photo of this lovely tulip! The vibrant red orange color is wonderful. I like how you have the flower on a slight diagonal.
