Tulips, a member of the lily family, are the quintessential British flower that is widely known for heralding the arrival of spring.
Seeing these beautiful blooms, with their vibrant colours and delicate petals, is a sure sign that the long, cold winter days are over and the warmer, brighter days of spring are here.
This particular arrangement of double flower yellow tulips is a stunning example of the beauty and elegance of this flower. The rich, buttery yellow colour of the petals is warm and inviting, making it the perfect addition to any home.
25 stems arranged and delivered gift wrapped in florist craft paper and finished with a raffia bow.
To make this gift that little bit extra special, why not add award-winning handmade chocolates, made locally in Sussex.
We also offer fragrant handmade candles, made from soy wax using only the very finest ingredients available. Each candle is hand-poured into glass containers with the addition of carefully selected perfumes.
Yellow Tulip Hand Tied Bouquet
Make sure you have a clean vase to hand to put your flowers in.
Fill your vase two thirds full with fresh water and add the flower food.
Unwrap your flowers from the packaging, if you have been given a hand-tied bouquet, leave the twine in place around the stems, otherwise, you will lose the design and you will have to rearrange.
Cut off about 2cm from the bottom of each stem, using a pair of sharp scissors or secateurs. Cut at a 45 degree angle to ensure your stems have the greatest surface area possible to drink from.
Remove any foliage which may sit below the waterline as this can cause bacteria to build up in the vase shortening the life span of your flowers.
When choosing where to display your flowers make sure they are kept away from draughts as well as hot radiators. Also out of direct sunlight and avoid keeping your flowers next to the fruit bowl as some fruits release a gas that can make flowers fade fast.
Check the water on a daily basis and top up when needed.
Every 2-3 days, re-cut the flower stems and fill your vase with fresh water.
