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. =)

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet!

Jewelry Giveaway: Silver Wreath Ring by Kate Szabone

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Linda Meyers-Gabbard for submitting the randomly chosen 702nd entry. Have you dragged your holiday decorations out of the attic and dusted off the Christmas wreath yet? One reader will win the above sterling silver band by Kate Szabone Jewellery and get to hang a wreath ring around her finger during any season. The design is reminiscent of a budding rose branch.

Her jewelry is inspired by the simplicity and complexity of nature, the Art Nouveau movement and her mother - a photographer, spinner and fibre artist.
