Red Tulip Bouquets - Dutch Flower Market Photography

Sale price$39.00
Material:
Size:

Bunched red tulips stand upright in rows at a flower market, wrapped and priced for sale by the bundle. The Netherlands remains the center of the world's cut-flower trade: the Royal FloraHolland auction at Aalsmeer moves billions of stems a year, sold by the descending-price clock that gave the "Dutch auction" its name. Cut tulips keep growing after they leave the field, adding as much as an inch in the vase, and they bend toward whatever light reaches them. The photograph frames the bouquets straight on, letting the repetition of red against green stems do the work. It captures the tulip in its everyday form — not rare, not speculative, simply sold.
