Tulips




 My cousin, with whom I stayed last April,  always has fresh flowers in her house. I took a photo of these tulips with a view to painting them at a later time.

I also had noticed that the tulips were in very little water and thought I was being very helpful by topping up the water in the vase. It turns out, however, that tulips stay upright for longer when one keeps the water level to just covering the ends of the stems. A tip I will try out myself some time!
