Celebrate the Arrival of Spring with Bright and Pastel Tulips

Spring means the arrival of many types of beloved flowers. However, one of the most loved flowers is the tulip for its unique shape, range of colors, and long life. With the arrival of spring on Sunday, March 20th, this is the perfect opportunity to pick up some tulips to enjoy in your home or office, use for a spring wedding or spring event, or share with someone special on their birthday, anniversary, or arrival of a baby. Of course, tulips are also great for holidays like St. Patrick’s Day, International Day of Happiness, and Easter all of which fall in the month of March this year. Whether you order online or by phone or you check out our San Diego flower shop displays, you can enjoy many types of tulips in an array of colors and combinations with other treasured flowers. Here are a few examples: We have tulips in colors like pink, yellow, fiery orange, red, purple and even snow white. You can get tulip arrangements in one color in the quantity of your choice or you can mix the colors up into one stunning floral display. Another option is to create a custom tulip arrangement and combine these flowers with other spring flowers or a personal favorite along with the container style of your choice. You can even bring in your own container for our floral design team to hand-arrange your tulips within this special vase or basket. To celebrate the imminent arrival of spring and encourage you to decorate for all these special March holidays or give tulips as gifts to loved ones, we have put our tulips on sale while supplies last.

Bring Spring Indoors with Holland Tulips

With tulip season in full swing, our San Diego flower shops have a wide range of tulips that help you decorate your home. As a versatile flower, tulips fit in every room of the house and come in an array of colors so that you can use this flower to complement all styles and décor. Tulip Colors Add color to a room with our tulip collection, which comes in bright hues like purple, red, orange and yellow. Or, to add an air of sophistication to a monochromatic room, we have snow white tulips to add to the elegant look.  Tulip Containers Because tulips are so flexible, you can leave them tall and bunch them together in tall containers, lay them flat in a bowl of water with candles, or use mid-size containers to group them together. They look pretty in glass, ceramic, basket and wire containers because their unique look blends well with all types of styles. Add other features to the containers, such as river rock, willow, glass beads and leaves or even sliced limes or lemons to add further interest to the tulip display. Vases and containers can also be tied with ribbon or raffia to match the room’s décor and complement the tulip colors. Coordinating Flowers Tulips also show well when arranged with other types of flowers, including roses and hydrangea. Using tulips with an array of other flowers creates depth and texture to flower arrangements that are used on tables throughout the home.  Our Selection of Tulips is On Sale!

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.

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?
