Did you know.....?
Many professional florists, including
us, would suggest using cold straight
water for Bulb plants/flowers such as
Tulips. Perhaps the sugar contained
preservatives encourage bacterial
growth, the key to success (making
them last longer) is;
1) Using clean vases
2) Keeping water clean (refill)
3) Placing it in the coolest room in your
house.
A vase of fresh tulips is both
elegant and colorful, but cut tulips are
noted for having minds of their own.
No tulip arrangement will remain
the same day after day.
Allow for these changes and enjoy
the varied display before you.
Tulips continue to grow in water
after they have been cut, lengthening
at least one inch and possibly up to
six inches!!
Tulips are heliotropic and twist to
follow the sun during the day.
The tulip flowers open and close with
the rising and setting of the sun.
Their heavy blooms also feel the pull
of gravity and tend to droop down.
