I love tulips.  I think they’re the most beautiful, simple flower there is.  I’m hoping to have them in my wedding bouquet.  These were bought the same days as the roses I took a picture of earlier this week, and have started to open up now so they look lovely.  They’ve kept growing since I put them in the vase too – apparently (I only discovered this yesterday) tulips can keep growing after being cut by up to two inches!  There’s a bit of potentially useless trivia for you!
