The Lovers

The Lovers - Parrot Tulips 2026

In The Lovers, four blooms become a study of connection rather than individuality. Their stems lean towards one another, their ruffled petals gently touching, a caress, as though engaged in a silent conversation. Together they form a composition that celebrates tenderness, harmony and the enduring beauty found in companionship.

Parrot tulips first emerged in seventeenth-century Europe as unexpected mutations, their ruffled petals challenging the perfect symmetry prized by early tulip growers. What was once considered a botanical curiosity has become one of the most expressive flowers in the spring garden.

The golden blush varieties are especially beautiful. Layers of ivory, honey, apricot and lilac unfold like silk, each petal catching the light differently and revealing remarkable depth. Their sculptural form encourages the viewer to slow down and discover the architecture of each bloom, the folds and interplay of light. Flowers once dismissed for their irregularity, now admired for their expressive, almost painterly character.

Arranged and Photographed by Laura

The Print and the Paper

Printing: Giclée Archival Inkjet Print

Paper: Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 gsm Etching Finish

Hahnemühle Photo Rag is one of the world’s most popular papers and the valued all-rounder for high-quality FineArt inkjet printing. The white cotton artist’s paper, with its characteristic, wonderfully soft feel, boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each artwork a three-dimensional appearance and impressive pictorial depth. Combined with the matt premium inkjet coating, this paper produces outstanding prints that feature brilliant colours, deep blacks, striking contrasts and perfect reproduction of detail. This acid- and lignin-free classic meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and is specially designed for FineArt applications., this is museum quality for highest age resistance. It will be rolled in a tube and shipped directly to you from the printers and include a signed certificate of authentication. Please ask your framer to attach this to the back of the frame. All prints come unframed with a 10mm white handling border. It has a delicate surface so we recommend extra care when handling. As much as I understand the desire to open your parcel as soon as you have received it, I strongly advise not opening the tube but give directly to your framer to handle, they will use special gloves to avoid finger prints and be working in a space that protects the paper. Your artwork is an investment and very precious so I recommend asking your framer to use a protective non-reflective artglass with a UV filter, this will greatly reduce any potential fading. I recommend either UV70 or museum glass.
