@eyesmile @megmills @michaelelliott Thank you, all! My first title ideas were varieties of candy cane. Peppermint ice cream fits much better!

That is a GORGEOUS flower and capture of its beauty!

spectacular - looks like raspberryripple icecream - mmmmmmm
May 5th, 2013  
That's wonderful - beautiful colours and great capture. You mentioned a while back you were thinking of getting a macro lens: did you buy one? I keep trying to make up my mind!
May 5th, 2013  
So beauttiful*)FAV!

How incredible is nature?? Stunning shot Lisa :)

Raspberry ripple ice cream! Beautiful capture. It does look almost edible.
May 5th, 2013  
This is so pretty. What kind of flower is it?
May 5th, 2013  
Color is great and the diagonal movement gives it just the right interest.
May 5th, 2013  
@eyesmile @megmills Peppermint? :-o That should be green. Raspberry Ripple I could understand, but...

Great shot, Lisa. I love the edges of the petals especially.
May 5th, 2013  
Gorgeous Lisa. Someone mentioned ice crem - rasberry ripple. Delicious shot.
May 5th, 2013  
Wow! Stunning! A fav!
May 5th, 2013  
I've never seen such a pretty tulip. As everyone else has said, the colours and the form are very beautiful. Great shot.
May 5th, 2013  
wow this is just so beautiful! love the colors of the tulip! great focus and dof! fab shot!
May 5th, 2013  
@dolphin Thank you, Molly. I have yet to purchase a macro lens, but am nearing a decision finally. I am almost sure that I will purchase the new Tamron 90 mm lens with vibration control (VC). Since it is so new to the market, there is not a lot that information available. However, the reviews and photos that I have seen are all extremely positive.
May 5th, 2013  
Lee
Yep, gotta admit made me think of ice cream too. Great colours.
May 5th, 2013  
@henrir Thank you for your comment. These are tulips but I don't know the name of the variety.
May 5th, 2013  
Wow, so interesting, and the title is so appropriate :) A fav for me!
May 5th, 2013  
Caz
This is beautiful, fav !
May 5th, 2013  
What a beautiful tulip! You should add the tag May-flowers too.
May 5th, 2013

May 6th, 2013  
Fabulous flower, gorgeous colours
May 6th, 2013  
Amazing shot like always.
May 6th, 2013  
Gorgeous composition and focus! Beautiful tulip!
Good for you on the macro! I tried the 90mm tamron at a local camera store - both with and without vc and the extra $$$ are worth it with from what I could tell. I am lens shopping too.
May 6th, 2013  
@jankoos Thanks Jan! I am really happy to know you viewed both Tamron 90mm lenses and deem the extra $ worth it. I would like to be able to use it off a tripod as much as possible so think the VC option is the way to go. What will be your next lens purchase?
May 6th, 2013  
Stunning shot of a parrot tulip. Beautiful color and detail.
May 6th, 2013  
Breathtaken picture ! Gorgeous colors, great focus.
