It’s summer, we’re in Sparta, the religious festivities have begun. There’s a lot going on in this heart!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Everyone is gathered in the theater for wild dances and exercises. All these young tulips are one. And yet they are so many in number and variety: Fringed Tulips, Lily Flower Tulips, Acuminata Tulips, Botanical Tulips, Triumph Tulips, Darwin Hybrid Tulips, Viridiflora Tulips\u2026 And so many more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heroine of the\nday is a double tulip in orange-red tones. This is her very first\nyear of participation. She is a little, very shy. She stays in her\ncorner. So many people really scares her. She who comes from her\nsmall town in the depths of the earth. It’s kind of funny. Her mother\nhad warned her, but being at the center of the event, living it for\nreal, is a whole different matter. If she had known…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is lost in her\nthoughts when a yellow fringed tulip jostles her. She would like to\nget angry, shout, hit but\u2026 the smile of the disruptive is so\ncharming that she finds herself disarmed. Why struggle? Maybe, after\nall, she could have a good time. It was then that she let herself be\nembarked on the bewitching, intoxicating round that never ceases to\ngrow. She is so so huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she turns, she\ntwirls, she drowns in this frightening botanical bath. It’s who would\nmake the most noise, the most gestures, the most everything and\nnothing. It’s beyond madness. She could never have imagined such a\nscene. It is simply unbelievable. After a few hours, she feels light.\nIt is as if she were floating above the city. Because yes, of course,\nthere are far too many of them to be confined within the theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sudden smell calls\nher. She then detaches herself from the group, and relies on her\nsense of smell. All her senses are sharp. And when her nose flexes,\nshe follows her instincts. Could it be that here, somewhere nearby,\nsomeone is cooking her favorite dish? It would be just amazing. But\nyes, as she arrives in an alley and leans toward an open window:\nstroopwafels have just come out of the oven. Her little weakness. She\ncan’t stand it anymore, she enters the kitchen and\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
