Tulips

This classical cup silhouette is available in a rainbow of colors, so the versatile tulip can offer a burst of color or a soft accent to any bouquet.

The tulip is a simple yet powerful flower, with a sweet smell that ushers in spring with a burst of color and its soft satin petals.

The origin of the name tulip is a bit of a mystery. They were grown frequently in Turkey before being introduced to Europe in the 1600s. The Latin name, Tulipa, derives from the word turban, and the classic tulip cup shape was initially described as looking like a turban. However, some records show that wearing tulips in a turban was also very popular, and the name may have derived from the fashion style instead.

While the simple tulip blooms naturally in spring, this lovely flower is available year-round from a variety of countries and growers.
