Tulips need support. Good life lesson.
Backstory
I bought some tulips last week. I divided them into two vases. One was a shorter vase for the kitchen, the other was a taller vase for the main area.I left the stems about the same length, and noticed that as they started to open, the flowers in the kitchen were too heavy to stay upright in the shorter vase, they drooped over. The ones supported in the taller vase, stayed upright.
And my first instinct is to help the drooping flowers, figure out what's wrong. Reminded me of here, how our words and comments are often so supportive and compassionate. So happy I found this site.
Happy Valentine's week as well as all the other February celebrations!

Thank you everyone for your kind and supportive comments!@Loon, It could be. It could very well be. Try a taller vase. Or ask your wife to try you to a stake. That sometimes helps. :)
