The Weekend Bouquet - Specialty tulips pick up Saturday 3/7

Sale price$25.00

The tradition continues!

Since 2023, we've been offering Saturday pick up off my porch. It's where this all began. 

Specialty tulips...the frills, the flounces, the fringes, the colors!
From over 600 years of breeding, specialty tulips will be the brightest spot in your world in the middle of winter's brown and white chilly cold. Literally changing in the vase every day, tulips are a beautiful journey for you to enjoy. These are not grocery store tulips, my flower friend! Every one deserves these tulips in their life.
We grow a rotating cast of multiple styles - fringe, multi color, parrot, double blooms, peony like and sometimes common singles. For us, there's always something different currently in bloom!
What does Large or Extra Large mean?  
In general,
  • Large is 8-10 tulips - this is plenty for a 6-8 person dining room table 
  • Extra large is 16-20 tulips - for more wow! or for the flower lover who likes blooms in many vases
  • NEW!! Shorties are small, sweet posies of mixed color, short growing tulips. Perhaps 5-8 stems in the 5-10" range. A highly variable little surprise treat!
Things to expect with tulips 
Unlike many blooms, tulips can change a lot in the vase. To me, they are a journey to enjoy. In particular,
  • tulip blooms will grow in the vase, some fancy singles will grow twice as large or more. 
  • tulip stems for the longer stemmed varieties will keep growing as well, many times by several inches. If they droop over the vase excessively, experiment with cutting inches off the stem to keep them looking how you like them.
  • lighter colored tulips sometimes turn exquisite translucent tones as they age, sometimes lasting for up to two weeks plus as they senesce. 
  • many tulips are routinely harvested when just the barest whisper of color is showing on the petals. for the longest enjoyment in a vase buy single and fringed tulips as closed as you can get them. for fancier multi petaled doubles and fringy parrots, you should see color AND a little bit of the tulip opening. tulips fully colored up and starting to open will still last a week (or more) but you can buy them even earlier (from a reputable grower) and get several more days of enjoyment. bottom line: don't be afraid to buy tulips too early.
