We have tulips available by the bunch or beautifully arranged. Enjoy some tulip magic!
In Russia, red tulips were used to declare romantic love, where blackish center of red tulip symbolized coal-burnt heart of the lover in the passion of love.
Tulip bulbs were sold costlier than gold in 1600’s in Holland. In 1630’s a kind of frenzy for tulips occurred in Western Europe named “Tulip mania” and tulips became so expensive as to be treated as a form of currency.
Tulip bulbs can be used in place of onions in many recipes.
Tulips lifespan is very short, being 3 to 7 days.
Tulips symbolizing imagination, have earned a reputation for declaration of love.
Tulips can grow at a rate of 1 inch per day even after being cut.
