The Tulip Dance

So much enjoyment from 2 unexpected tulips. 

Remember the 2 tulips that tease me by coming up every year, and then refuse to flower?  Well, I  cut them and brought them into the house so I could have the pleasure of their company at breakfast, and I thoroughly enjoyed every stage of their last dance.

  

Unfortunately, Dan didn't know that I was waiting for the petals to completely drop off to take the final photo to finish the collage, and he cleaned them off the table before I got up one morning.  My fault;  I didn't say that I was photographing them.  He just saw dead flowers that needed to be removed.
