Happy Spring! And what welcomes Spring better than a colorful array of Tulips popping through the ground?! Yes, Tulips are a labor of love because most gardeners will treat them as annuals and require re-planting every Fall. But for me the burst of color in April thru May is worth the hard work each year! Plus you have the opportunity to do something different every year.

Some people treat themselves to manicures or a fine bottle of wine, for me I prefer to splurge on a couple dozen specialty tulips. Luckily Colorblends, a wholesaler of flower bulbs, is located locally right out of Bridgeport Connecticut. Now the hard part is only selecting a few tulips from their plethora of colorful and tempting Tulip blends. Visit www.Colorblends.com to line up your purchase for this Fall!

Last Fall I made my own Tulip blend that consisted of a single blossom purple tulip variety called Yume no Murasaki, and a double blossom pink/red/yellow tulip variety called Moris Gudanov.

What’s in this Bouquet: 5 Purple Tulips (Yume no Muraski) and 2 Red/Pink Tulips Moris Gudanov. Cut the tulips so they aren’t too tall in relation to your vase height. Use the Tulip leaves as green filler. Tulips have a mind of their own, don’t try and control the arrangement too much, just let them be their carefree selves.
