Trial Tulip no.3
Discovered whilst photographing in Breezand for the "Painterly Plant' series in House & Garden Magazine (April 2010).
This must be one of my absolute favourites. Found by Gerrit Preijde's father as a mutant amongst his stock.
Deeply feathered, with a beautiful shape in a gorgeous rich pink, and as it opens it reveals an exquisite blue base.
