This spring arrangement is comprised entirely of one variety of tulip--a single early-blooming pink called "Pink Impression." Even with cool temperatures, bulbs put on a fabulous show of color in early spring. And by planting tulips in the fall, selecting ones that bloom early, mid and late spring, extends the season sometimes up to a month.
When using in arrangements for lasting quality, cut in the bud stage. They will open up in a day, but the arrangement will last a week or more. Keep out of direct sunlight and drafts. I use a wet florists foam and a floral preservative to ensure longevity.
When selecting tulips, I like to know what the heart looks like. This one has a beautiful blue-green star. Many have black or yellow centers. I think it's the prettiest part of the flower.
Fully open on day two of the arrangement.
