I found this cool blue vase on a clearance shelf and since I have nothing like it and it was seriously on sale, I bought it. Later, I picked up some yellow tulips.
The next day I put them together and really loved the yellow and green and blue. I didn't do a lot of fussy arranging, but just stuck them in the vase and put them on the table in the front hall.
The following morning I went to admire my handiwork and found this.
It seems that in my excitement to create some color contrast, I forgot to put water in the vase. I felt like such a dork, as well I should have. Since I had nothing to lose, I filled the vase with water and left it in the kitchen to see if I could revive the poor flowers just a little.
Over the next few hours, I found that tulips are a lot more sturdy than I gave them credit for.
Little by little, they straightened up. Every time I looked at them, they were just a little more lively.
After just a few hours, they were beautiful again.
Wow! I would've thought they were a lost cause.
