I have tulip fever. Only having 2 makes them very precious. I love their shape, the stems, the petals, the colors. But what really has me captivated is the shape of the petals. As they age they become voluptuous, Rubenisque [if that is a word] in their fleshy form. Irresistible. This one is called Queen of the Night. Appropriate, I would say.
