Tulip Festival - part two, Tulips

You can't believe how many colors there are for tulips!  Normally, I'd say the purple or burgundy ones are my favorite, but I really, really like the red ones with the black and gold bottoms.  I'm really happy with the way the cane turned out.  Then I was faced with a dilemma...do I make the flower blossom from the top or the side?  Decisions, decisions.  So I did made one of each.  What do you think?
