WW: Rembrandt's Favorite Tulip

Rembrandt's Favorite Tulip Photo

"Choose only one master - Nature."
 - Rembrandt

This bicolor tulip really does look like an artist brushed its white petals with purple paint strokes, doesn't it? No wonder the type of tulip is titled "Rembrandt's Favorite."

    Gorgeous color, beautiful flower. Nature is inspiring as I'm sure Rembrandt would attest to. She (nature) has been the muse of many an artist. :)

    Very pretty! Nature is amazing, isn't it? Purple and yellow are supposed to be opposites, but they mix so amazingly in a spring bloom. =)
