Wow what a fabulous session. I've learnt something new. Thank you

Fantastic! This is exactly what I've been wanting to learn. I got in some dark purple callas and plan to spend most of the day photographing them. You've helped add new toys to my playpen. Thanks for the good work.

Can this be done with tulips?

Can tis be done with tulips?

With the foliage on the stem of a tulip, it would not be possible to remove the outer layer and curve the stem, like was done with the calla lily. You can remove the foliage of the tulip and gently massage the stem, in a similar fashion, to make the stem curve better.
Warning - tulips are phototropic. This means they will grow or move toward a light source. They can grow up to 4' in a day, so if you manipulate them, they may move from that position very quickly.

Las hubieras dejado que ss deshidratarán por unas tres a cuatro horas fuera de el agua, luego las masajeas por unos segundos y y tercero las manipulas para que no lastimes su sistema vascular… aquí un video como.
