Tulips

This reminds me of still life flower paintings we were made to produce in art classes at school. I was always lucky if mine looked vaguely like flowers in general, let alone any identifiable species.

It also reminds me of a truly awful joke my dad used to tell which involved a pet hamster which died, was turned into jam and then thrown out the window into the garden, whereupon flowers grew. The joke went on and on, and every time my dad told it, it was embellished further and took longer and longer.

The punchline was "Tulips from Hamster Jam".
