J. K. Rowling the author of Harry Potter, famously said,
“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.”
I feel flowers share this wonderful gift and every flower has a story to tell. The story comes out as you work with the flowers. Whether cutting open boxes frantically at 4 AM and filling up buckets in a bustling metropolitan flower market or working alone at the design bench making a bridal bouquet that will be a focal in a wedding celebration, the flowers we work with each share their personality.
Some are stubborn, some go along with your ideas, no matter how outlandish, some rise to the occasion while others end up on the studio floor.
The French Tulip story starts in Holland, where we source the bulbs, technically called “Single Late Tulips,” they are actually bred as a tetraploid hybrid tulips. Tetraploid varieties contain twice as many chromosomes and twice as much genetic material as "normal" tulip varieties. Hence their impactful presence, stretching to 36+ inches with heads the size of a Faberge egg.
