Workers harvest tulips in a field near the eastern German town of Schwaneberg

From the "Pictures of the day" feature at The Telegraph. Although the caption says the tulips are being "harvested," my understanding of what is really happening is that the machine is decapitating the tulips, leaving the foliage intact and allowing the plant to redirect its energy to bulb formation. The actual "harvest" will probably come in the autumn when the bulbs are excavaed.Too bad to waste all those petals. They could have been used to cover a road or something.
