Growth - tulips


Tulip time in New York.

We were wandering across town on 79th, and walked past a Very Swanky Building indeed. The flower beds surrounding the trees by its entrance were filled with large red tulips. The blossoms, classic tulip shape, fire-engine red, were too heavy for the long stems and had fallen in waves towards the street.

"Crop Circles!", A said. "Feeds those conspiracy theories you always spout."

(N.B. I don't, nor A. A teases me unmercifully, however.)

The tulips by the corner building on 82nd, yellow and red, were firmly upright. Their heads weren't too big for their bodies.
