Wooden tulips (fools in love and money)

Wooden tulips (fools in love and money)

Pink and Blue Wooden Tulips in Stoneware Vase

 Pink and Blue Tulip

My wooden tulips are special mementos purchased by me as symbols of that flower given at times by a fool in love.  In the photo they sit in a very old pottery piece glazed also in my favorite colors of  pink and blue. These blossoms seem symbolic of that kind of youthful love or infatuation that has no real foundation but brightly blooms in the spring each year.  The wooden flowers were bought as a gentle reminder of the short life span of this kind of love.  Funny as well that one of the most foolish investment boom and bust stories in history was centered around tulip bulbs. Yes, innocence takes the same path whether with money or love -  fast up and down.
