Spring Flower Showcase: Tulips

Spring is well underway with summer just around the corner. This time of year brings beautiful flower choices, including such seasonal favorites as tulips. One of its best features is that it is available in so many of the brightest colors. And, with such a beautiful form and some that even have a lovely scent, it is no wonder that the tulip is so popular among florists and consumers alike. Our three floral shop locations in San Diego are reporting record orders for tulips this year. All about Tulips The vibrant tulip grows all over the world. In Holland, during the tulip bloom, tourists flock from around the world to see these lovely blooms. But, you may not be familiar with how tulips got their start. The tulip was introduced to the world by an Austrian biologist while the name came from a Turkish word that means turban as their shape somewhat resembles one. These bulbous flowers are associated with the lily family and are considered somewhat of a larger flower with an average of six petals each. There are actually over 100 species of tulips and 3,000 registered varieties that have been catalogued and found from their home in Turkey where they were cultivated as far back as 1,000 AD to, of course, Europe and even China and Siberia! Tulips as a Symbol Of the brimming and bright flowers of spring, the tulip has got to be the most representative of happiness. Other international meanings associated with the tulip are dreaminess, a declaration of love, and imagination. They are given in friendship and in love for various occasions. Did you Know? Did you know that you can actually cook with a tulip bulb if you are out of onions? It really [...]

It’s Coming Up Flowers!

It’s that time of year again when you keep checking the landscape to see if the flowers are blooming yet. The temperatures are jumping around and going from chilly nights and warm, almost summery, days. You’ve checked your closet for shorts to wear, but this is the time of year that layers are the way to go. While you wait for the weather to settle, think about bringing the colors of spring into your home and enjoying the incredible variety of blooms available right now. What could be better than a “Sunny Day” arrangement? How about the “Sunny San Diego”? “A Spring Delight” is so uplifting that you won’t even notice when the temperatures plummet. The Colors of Spring Color plays an important role in affecting your mood. According to some scientists, the colors that you surround yourself with can shape your mood and actually make you happier, more confident, bolder, and maybe even up the fun factor. What better way to do that than to surround yourself with the wide range of colors in flowers and plants. Here are some common color mood changers: Blue – gives you strength and confidence; Red – makes you bold and powerful, Pink – lets people know that you are fun and lively. Roses are Red… Whoever said that “roses are red and violets are blue” just wasn’t paying attention to the many other colors found within the rose family. Roses come in red, yellow, white, pink, orange, multi-colored and lavender. And, really, violets are pretty much purple. The “Violets and Butterflies” basket shows off one of April’s loveliest little blooms with panache while the amazing variety of rose arrangements can express you every early spring mood perfectly.
