Life is an adventure in forgiveness.
~ Norman Cousins
* ----------------------- *
It is believed a botanical professor, Charles de L'Ecluse, brought the tulip to Holland in 1593, having purchased it in Istanbul. The professor admired the work of the Flemish painter Paul Rubens, and after the tulip was propagated at Leiden University, it was shipped to him. Painters loved to paint the tulip. The Golden Age of Dutch painting was abundant with still life compositions of the tulip. Special tulip books were published, as were catalogues for wealthy collectors.
Today, 15 groups with approximately 2,600 varieties of tulips exist, with Holland exporting 60% of the world's tulips. The species bulbs are more vigorous than the weaker hybrids which tend not to lose vigour after a year or two but whichever is used, it is now the 'people's flower' , cherished by all.
A white tulip means forgiveness.

Michel Verhoef
Perfect shot Connie...it makes me think of Eva Nova's work who also adds human behaviour titles to her flower shots....it really works very well here with the green leaf touching the flower !!
Connie Handscomb replied:
Thank you so much, Michel! In this then, she & I are kindred spirits :)) While I did like the leaf tenderly touching the flower, the grey sky overhead was too dull for the white bloom ... my "remedy" was the lightly toned texture; thank you again for the encouraging compliment! very much appreciated!}
