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.

Usage
The image also appears on Windows DVD Maker's start page along with Desert and Chrysanthemum. 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 located in the folder for the slideshow gadgets, so it is likely that Microsoft forgot to replace it with the processed version that was used as a sample picture.
