Flower Fridays - Tulips

When I was growing up, the first sign of spring was always when the tulips my parents had planted around the yard would start to sprout.  To me they signify the end of a cold miserable winter, and the beginning of warmer weather!  There are multiple types of tulips: Dutch, Parrot, and French; the most common and most affordable ($) being Dutch.  Tulips come in a variety of colors including pink, red, purple, yellow, white, and orange.  Tulip's season is typically November through May, but are really available any time of the year.

Tulips are a fun flower for wedding centerpieces.  They are great for submerged designs due to their soft and bendy stems.  An interesting fact about tulips: Fresh cup tulips will continue to grow after being put in water!
