tulips




For some reason unknown, tulips weren't the most popular flower choice for our clients this spring. Humm...this was quite mysterious to me. Spring is the peak season for tulips, what that means is that it's the most beautiful season for them. The ranges of colors and variations (such as parrot, fringed)they have are especially wonderful in spring!  Perhaps the perceived value of tulips have gone down since you see them at a supermarket or deli all around the city. But why say no straight away to something that is so full of energy and beautiful just because you see them often?   I want to  encourage people to take a chance on re-discovering tulips.   I think open mindedness can often bring unexpected wonderfulness.






I hope you are all having a wonderful spring!

pincushion




We recently used these for arrangements to add some textural interest.
The name is "pincushion". Common names of some flowers are so straight forward! There is no doubt that this is a perfect name for it. (though I always think it looks like an underwater creature as well.)







They are definitely unique and interesting!
Available in shades of corals and yellows.
