Tulips in B&W ~ A Monomad Post

I'm embarrassed to admit that it's come to this, but my wife is now buying her own flowers when we're at the grocery store. I've got to try to beat her to it next time. This time, though, she replaced the roses she usually gets with tulips. After a few days, they really opened up. And what better way to capture their beauty than in glorious black and white?

I'm posting these images for the daily #MonoMad photo contest curated by @monochromes. If you'd like to join in, you can find yesterday's winners and the rules for participation here.
