Spring is not quite here in the UK, but out in gardens the first shoots are sprouting. Get in the mood with this classic, traditional model of a tulip and leaf.

The model is diagrammed by Dave Petty – did you know you can find hundreds of great diagrams like this on Dave’s website, which has been archived by the BOS to keep all the content available for the public. You can access Dave’s website and more at via the archived sites link.
