Tulips to the Point
Classically, there is always one for a bouquet odd Number of Flowers
When the first rays of spring sunshine kiss nature out of hibernation, tulips are the first flowers to awaken.
Look
Tulips are lily plants with a long history of cultivation and have been used in floristry for centuries to mark the arrival of spring. Their countless varieties and colors decorate the floristic landscape like no other cut flower. The "Ad Rem" is a double tulip with an orange color. In contrast to the wild tulip, the double tulip is characterized by the fact that its flower opens quickly and then remains in a graceful upright position.
Design tips
The tulip embodies elegance, grace and true beauty. It is the most popular cut flower of spring and has many uses this time of year. Regardless of whether they are to be used decoratively or given as a gift: tulips are best arranged on their own or with other tulips. Their foliage is naturally beautiful, but can be supplemented with various branches or spring shrubs. Great binding greens include pistachio or birch branches, blueberry herb and or a cuff of salal leaves. A little tip: if you use something other than tulips, you should make sure to place the tulips a little lower than the rest when tying them, as, unlike other cut flowers, they will continue to grow noticeably and will therefore not stick out in an unsightly manner.
Care
- Cut the stem straight with a knife, as the water absorption capacity of tulips is naturally very high and otherwise they would grow back too quickly.
- Fill the water container up to a maximum of a third and check it daily, preferably in the morning and evening, and refill it if necessary.
- It is best to cut off all leaves except for the last bract, but especially the lower part.
- Avoid proximity to radiators, drafts and strong sunlight.
- Glass vases not only complement the aesthetics: their shape influences the bending behavior of the individual stems.
