What I am interested in here - as I guess other are who takes flowers in B&W - is to "make a picture", not to document a documentary record of the flowers per se. One of the things that I like about tulips (and others) is the shapes that they make and the textures of the leaves and flowers and petals. You do flowers in colour much better than I do - and I don't have the richness of beautiful flowers that you do down there. Ours are a bit more muted.
