It's beautiful here in Holland, MI, this time of year. The annual Tulip Time is in full swing. I took this picture 10 days ago so these tulips are probably getting past their peak. A lack of sun and time prevented me from getting back to these blossoms and shooting them in full bloom.

Beautiful big leaves on a statuesque Tulip Tree "Liriodendron tulipifera" at Johnstown Castle. I'd never heard of this tree before, it was magnificent. HGGT!
Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717

Experimenting with the Lensbaby Spin lens today. I love how the ring-shaped blur isolates the subject while adding a dynamic energy to the background. The sharp detail on the tulip petals provides a nice contrast against the soft, spinning greens and reds of the garden.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of the building of the Queen’s House – all that remains of Greenwich Palace, and the architectural centrepiece of the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As part of the celebrations a special funding programme has been created to reinstate the glory of the Tulip Stairs, one of the building’s most iconic interiors.
