Let’s Talk about Tulips

 

 

 

 

The elegant flower signifies undying love and simple beauty, The tulip is one of the most popular spring flowers worldwide, but did you know..

1)      Tulips have a long season; they are available from mid-October to mid-May, making them a great value choice for winter and spring weddings.

2)      There are reportedly 3000 varieties of tulips which means there is certainly an overwhelming amount of choice, they come in beautiful varieties of colours, shapes and heights and some even include frilly petals which is perfect for contemporary weddings.

3)      You can buy them in every colour of the rainbow, except black and blue, so whatever your colour scheme, you’re guaranteed to find a variety to suit your style.

4)      The most popular tulips are the red varieties. The most famous tulip is said to be “Queen of the Night”, a tulip that is almost black (it’s actually a very deep purple).

5)      Tulip is the national flower of Turkey. Tulip flowers are seen as a token of a perfect lover, passion, declaration of love, romance and fame.

6)      The father of the Dutch obsession with tulips was botanist Carolus Clusius, he is said to have popularised the flowers. He was also the first to identify “broken tulips” , which is a viral infection that caused beautiful streaking in the petals of the flowers. The demand for tulips set off “tulip mania” in the Netherlands around 1637, and prices for some varieties soared, resulting in tulips being more valuable that gold.
