Is it still February?

Think spring, and it will happen...........
Chinese Trumpet lily 'Pink Perfection.' Last fall I planted 50 of these beauties, and several other kinds of Asiatic & Oriental Lilies, about 500 total. These gorgeous lilies will be added to our cut flower bouquets mid summer.

One of my favorite tulips, 'Big Smile.' It is enormous! The flower head is nearly 4". We planted over 1,100 assorted tulips last year, can't wait to see them. These will be in the early spring bouquets with lilacs, cherry & apple blossom stems, yum. If you cut your own tulips, you may sacrifice the entire plant. After you cut them, if not enough foliage is left on the stem, the plant cannot manufacture food for itself for next year. If you must cut, then cut little shorties and leave the stem w/the plant. We have the same issue, so tulips would be a yearly planting for us. But in an established flower bed, you may not want to replace every year.

This lily is 'rubrum speciosum.' It can get up to 5 feet tall. It is highly fragrant. These will be ready for bouquets in early to mid summer. For information on our bouquet program, click on the link on the right hand side.
