Two Toned Tulips and Vases

The other day at the grocery I saw a bunch of two toned tulips and decided to bring them home. Tulips can last up to three weeks as cut flowers. When I bring the tulips home I cut the end of the stem and place them in water immediately. The only vase I have unpacked is the one (in the third photo) I made recently. As I put the tulips in the vase I was thinking they'd look much better in a vase which was shorter and wider.

That's when I decided to make the strip layered form. This form is about eight inches tall and ten inches wide. I think this shape is better for displaying tulips allowing them to fall over the edges.

Now I'm thinking about other shapes, like a short skinny vase for a single flower. What shaped vases do you prefer? What about flowers; what kind do you use for cut flowers? Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
