Tiptoe Through The Tulips

Fashion show flowers

As the Alberta Clipper cold front moves across the country, and dips its way into the deep south, perhaps some pretty flower pictures will warm us up a bit.

Here in New Orleans it's cold for us human hot house flowers. It's getting down to the 40's at night, but no hard freeze in the city yet, though the weekend is promising still colder temperatures.

The pink magnolia are in bud and bloom, and the bulb flowers are poking their heads up too. For New Orleans, this is early Spring.
So look at your own clipping files of pretty flowers, and maybe dash to the super market or flower shop, and get yourself some Spring cheer to help warm your spirit. Spring really is just around the corner!
Have you ever been to Holland to the flower auctions? It's quite incredible. Zillions of boxes of blooms are offered, and zillions of dollars are bid and realized. Holland and South America supply much of the world with cut flowers.
It's hard to imagine that these beautiful fields of tulips might end up in your local store, fresh and ready for you to arrange. And at a good price too considering all that it takes to grow them, bring them to market and auction, ship them to your wholesaler, and get them to your flower seller.
From the famous flower fields of The Netherlands...
...to your corner store

As usual my friend Gary Page has the best selection of Holland tulips. And Yes he does ship!
