I love tulips when they go floppy 🙂
Just as well really! Though my red ones are still upright.
Somehow, this vase makes floppy tulips even more beautiful.
i just love tulips period

I don’t know if this works – mine were past it by the time I tried – but a friend told me this week that if you put a two pence coin in the water they stay upright???
Interesting. I may try that with the others. Thanks for the tip!
Sad, but once bloomed with heads held proud and high..;)
Down has been a fantastic theme. So many wonderful interpretations. In your case, it would be nicer if those flowers were up!
I love them, flopped or not 🙂
nice photos

Lack of water ? I googled a litte and came across this: http://www.wikihow.com/Care-for-Fresh-Cut-Tulips
Take care 🙂
You’re right, tulips are very thirsty flowers, but these have lots of water. I have two bunches of yellow tulips, both are floppy. The flame coloured ones and the red ones are up right.
I like Tulips…as long as it’s not the indoctrinated reformed kind…( religious humor disregard) Lovely post.
I love this picture!
They are still alive, but wonderfully splayed. The ones in the bathroom where it is cooler, equally so, and the flame ones, bought the same day and just a few feet away still upright. I think this is the perfect vase for floppy tulips! Btw, if you read this, could you remind me of the name of the restaurant that does new Catalan food in the silversmith area of Barcelona?
the last tulips i got came with a note that said that the stems need to be trimmed every two days to ensure their maximum longevity (i didn’t trim them, but at least i know i could have). apparently tulip stems keep growing, which is what makes them topple over in vases. but even so, they do so with a flourish, so all is well 🙂
thanks for sharing.
how interesting! I spouse that is also what makes them such thirsty flowers.
