New Tulip

...again - different varieties are so amazing to watch as they develop! I used a faster speed to get this shot.
Thankful for:
A couple arrived to spray the roofs for mildew and top the huge magnolia tree. We had been trying to contact them for months with no response!

You would be glad to see those two…..are you bothered with mildew on NZ roofs? A beautifully presented tulip!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Yes we are - we have tiles and it seems to grow in between and also lumps on our plastic roof over the decking.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Tikes….well I thought mist NZ homes had tin roofs although I have seen the more modern ones with tiles. We don’t get mildew in ours….too cold & windy I expect!

[Babs]

Looks lovely on black.

[Maggiemae]

@onewing Thanks Babs - hadn't thought of mentioning that.

@phil_howcroft I was just glad I got such good focus on the tulip, Phil!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Nice shot- I like how joyful this color is as the Tulip grows up towards the sun.

[Yao RL]

the most difficult flower to shoot, to me.

[Maggiemae]

@yaorenliu This particular one was easy - didn't open out in the sun like others do!

[Carrie Shepeard]

Simple and beautiful!
