Bossy’s friend B thought these were very rare, exotic flowers — as opposed to the dead tulips they actually are. That’s why Bossy likes her friend B.

May 20, 2009 at 9:49 amI’ve always loved tulips when they die. It’s like another phaase of their life. And they still stand up so straight and tall.

May 20, 2009 at 10:33 amWhen I looked at the thumbnail, I thought the (dead) leaf was Stella’s ear. I was so excited. Bummer.

May 20, 2009 at 10:57 amI too like the bizarre shapes that dying tulips make – actually much more interesting than the live flowers…

May 20, 2009 at 12:07 pmTulips are almost out of season and I’ve hardly bought any this year! What happened!?!

May 20, 2009 at 1:01 pmPut little identifying signs by your flowers. When the tulips are in their prime they get a TULIPS sign. Today the sign should read AMARYLLIS, because I’d buy that.
Next week: MULCH.

May 20, 2009 at 1:15 pmThat’s when I think tulips are at their best…right before the petals fall off, they look like they’re wearing ruffled ballerina skirts

May 20, 2009 at 8:39 pmDang, her in Chicago, our tulips are still lookin’ good. But then, we have loads of greet tomatoes when the first Fall frost hits…
I’ll trade dead tulips in May for red Beefsteaks in October. 🙂

May 20, 2009 at 9:43 pmIt makes me feel less alone to know there are others who allow their once beautiful flowers turn into scary plants from a Tim Burton movie. The other evening my husband asked me if he dog farted and I realized it wasn’t the dog but the sewer water in the vase holding the gladiolas I was having a hard time letting go of.

May 20, 2009 at 10:46 pmLook like exotic flowers to me. Seems like I remember thinking that when I had dead tulips once.
