Chrysanthemum

Many flower forms are available. Stems may carry one flower or multiple blooms. There are also spoon-shaped, quill-shaped, threadlike or spiderlike florets. Used as both cut flowers and blooming plants, their colors include pink, yellow, red, white, bronze, magenta and purple.

Tulip Apricot Parrot !

These whimsically-shaped, unusually-colored tulips have been developed from mutations of certain Late-flowering tulips, and from tulips in the Triumph group. The petals of these tulips are serrated or “fringed”. As the large flowers are exposed to the sun over time, they open so widely that they almost flatten out. The flowers are green as buds, [...]

WHAT’S NEW IN FLOWER ARRANGING TRENDS?

Flower trends can come and go almost as fast as trends in the fashion world. Different “looks” go in and out of style. Particular colors get hot - while others just cool down.
To find out what’s new in floral and flower arranging trends, the Dutch are a good place to start. More flowers come from [...]

ALL ABOUT TULIPS !

Sometime in the year 1637, a Dutch farmer was in the market for a tulip. Upon finding a bloemist who carried the specific variety of flower that he desired, the farmer entered into negotiations with the flower-seller. When an agreement had been reached, the farmer acquired his flower-bulb. The purchase price that the farmer apparently [...]

Acclimate Your Plants - Then Relax !

For longest enjoyment, buy potted bulbs when the buds are formed but even fully emerged.
But, then, what if the weather suddenly dips? If weather in your area is still dropping close to freezing, acclimate the potted plants to
outdoor weather in a protected but unheated spot for several days before planting outdoors.
Once planted outdoors, the cold [...]

Surprise Someone!

Since it’s so fun - and inexpensive - why not surprise a friend or parent. When visiting, bring a pot or two of tulips and a trowel. Before
ringing the bell, find a dismally barren spot by the front door and sink the bulb flowers in. (Water them before you go.) Your friend will
notice (soon enough!). [...]

- Tip the pot and gently remove the contents from the original plastic pot.
- Replant to achieve a bouquet effect within your own outdoor container.
- When replanting, it’s best to keep grouped [...]

TULIP CHEATS

If you forgot to plant your tulips last fall, or just want to jazz up your spring landscape with instant color, do what many professional designers do. Buy pre-potted bulbs at the garden center, supermarket or florist and “plant them out” into your garden or entryway containers. Sneaking potted bulbs into the spring garden is [...]

Narcissi join tulips !

Narcissi join tulips, hyacinths and crocuses to make up the most important of the spring-flowering bulbous, cormous and tuberous plants. Narcissi are used in abundance in gardens. This has much to do with their winter hardiness, the ease with which they naturalize, and their many applications. The various colours and flower types available also play [...]
