Queen of the Night cries at Longwood Gardens
During the Lewes Tulip Festival, the Cape Gazette asked the following trivia question in their midweek paper: "Which single late-flowering tulip made its debut in 1944 as one of the darkest tulips available?"
I'm used to photographing bright tulips so I didn't even know dark tulips existed. I had to Google to find that the answer was "Queen of the Night." When I came across that very same tulip type at Longwood Gardens after the spring rain last weekend, I almost cried tears of joy.
Aquariann enjoys watching petals grow much more than paint dry. That's why she's a flower photographer and illustrator instead of a painter. She welcomes all artists to join her weekly Flower Friday hop to share their pretty pictures on her other blog, the art and tree chatter of aquariann.

I don't have a green thumb, but that makes me appreciate stalking other people's gardens with my camera even more. I am, however, trying to grow an online flower photo portfolio on Fine Art America.
