Tulips (Windows 7)

Tulips is a sample picture included in Windows 7. It was taken by Microsoft employee David Nadalin. Similar to Windows XP's Tulips wallpaper, it depicts yellow tulips in a field, although it is unknown where it was taken. One of the tulips has a red stripe, implying it was starting to suffer from tulip breaking virus.

In 2014, photographer Karen Molenaar Terrell accidentally uploaded it to Fine Art America, not realizing it was Nadalin's photo. She found him and contacted him about it, where he joked that "750 million people have a copy of that one already". She has since befriended him and his wife Carol.

Alternate version
An alternate version, which is likely closer to the original shot, has surfaced. This version has a darker appearance, and shows more of the sky and slightly more of the tulips. It is unknown where it originates, as it has not been found in any build of 7 that features this set of sample pictures (image founded in gadgets slideshow folder). However, it is at the same resolution (1024x768) as the version used in 7, so it could have appeared in an unleaked build.
