Unwrapping My First Tulip Delivery of the Year - Seven Varieties!

Tulips are probably the most versatile flower I have in my shop. They come in many colors and shapes. Most people think only of the common single, solid color tulip, which is lovely but basic. There are 15 categories of tulips based on size, shape and blooming time. There are the lily-flowered tulips that have pointy petals reminiscent of the original Turkish blooms. Fringed tulips have jagged petals that look like they've been cut up with shears. Rembrandts are bicolored and stripy similar to a broken tulip. Doubles are super popular for wedding design and look like peonies. Parrots are the showiest of them all with their ruffley and colorful petals.

Hi Ellen! Great video - I am also an orange lover. I have to say that "Marie Jo" BLEW ME AWAY with its vibrancy, longevity and fresh, light scent!

I don't have any tulips in my house right now, but even learning about local tulips with you is making me smile on this grey day. Thank you!

Thanks Dave! Thinking of doing a more regular video about our weekly "local flower haul" so people can see what we're using in the shop week to week.
