Fanfan La Tulipe (DVD)

Totally Tulip

Advantages: Beautiful flowers, easy to grow
Disadvantages: Can develop disease

There are a great many wonderful plants and flowers on our earth and my favorite of them all is the Tulip, it may not be the most exotic or exciting of plants but I think it is one of true, simple beauty, one that is a dream to grow and a marvel to display. I've loved Tulips since I was a girl and my mother grew them in our garden, at first they seemed so plain, single flowers, bright in colour but unfussy but as the years passed and different varieties were introduced to our garden I realized how diverse and wonderful they really were, my love for the flowers finally reached it's peak when I selected white Tulips for my wedding bouquet and was presented with the most stunning arrangement of flowers I had ever seen.

Review of Tulips

Tulips from Amsterdam

Advantages: A beautiful Spring bloom
Disadvantages: None

Review of Tulips

Tulips From Amsterdam

Advantages: Satisfaction and Colour
Disadvantages: Not To Everyone's Liking

Sorry to say it's that time of year when we will soon be buying and planting our bulbs for our spring show in the garden, or pots if you prefer. Tulips are one of the few bulbs that we associate with spring, even though we may not want to think about that already, soon we will be clearing our gardens to make way for the annual bulb planting. I tend to plant a lot in tubs, so that I can place them near the house and forever see some sort of colour when I look out the window in the dreary first months of the year. Facts Although Tulips are associated with Holland they were in fact originally classed as a wild flower grown in Asia and Turkey. They came to Europe from the gardens of the Turkish sultans, the name is derived from the word "turban" because that is what people thought the tulip flowers resembled. In the 16th ...
