Purple tulips

I've said elsewhere that tulips re probably the flower that I have photographed more than any other. That's partly to do with the shape of the flower, its leaves and its stem - it's a beautiful plant. But it's also it appears in spring at a time when I'm ready for its deep, rich colours after the drabness and monotones of winter. This circular bed of purple tulips caught my eye because of the perfection of the plants and the overlapping bamboo arches that had been fashioned into a low fence to surround them.
