Early Spring 'Tulips'

As you might know, my country is famous for its tulips, but I was surprised to see these tulips already that early in the Spring in a Dutch flower shop.

On closer look, I've discovered (mainly because they weren't kept in the usually with water filled bucket in order to keep them fresh), that these tulips are ornamental wooden ones, probably to provide the tourists with 'tulips' all year long.

To me a tad manic situation however, hence it's my contribution for Manic Monday.

PS: I've decided to wait a while because I prefer to buy the real ones, 😁!

Manic in timing perhaps and a bit of a joke on all of us but a welcome burst of spring color nevertheless and something to look forward to in reality...beautifully crafted and great shot!

If you had not told us these were false...I would have believed them to be real!..

Good find for today's Manic day

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

They are beautiful in though they are fake, and I would say it's a bit manic. Love all of that color, well done! tigs=^..^=

Wooden tulips are a new one on me - but they are indeed colorful and I agree a bit manic!

Your capture is superb, really love the composition and angle of the shot. Very creative idea to make these from wood.

I was going to say that they looked a little too perfect to me. Nice shot none the less!
