Are Those Real?

Was the question I was asked repeatedly 2 Saturdays ago, when these amazing tulips graced us with their presence on the wrap stand at the Market shop. Oh yes, these beauties are real. The above lone tulip with a streak of yellow, different than the rest of the bunch. That deserved to be showcased in a vintage single stem vase.

The tight striped heads resembling peppermint balls from the Holidays.

But when they start to open up, that is when the magic begins.

They lasted the entire week out at the beach house. When we came in late Saturday eve, they were still looking pretty swell. I cut them way back, and clustered the droopy heads into a fairly tight bunch, and put them in a vintage white Floraline vase.

Day 10, and their beauty still breathtaking.
