They are really wonderful. That said, my choice would have been color,
especially the Mapplethorpe.

When tulips are blooming, I like to sit out there and watch them in the
morning; you can actually see them glide like animals.

I think that's why he shot them because they are such sensual things.  My
favorites are the delicate pastels.

Most of my flowers I find in the wild, but these tulips were bulbs gifted
to me by a photographer friend who has fallen ill.

I kept them in the refrigerator last year and when it came time, planted
them in a pot outside with my herbs.
