Tulips

Tulip bouquets, a sure sign of spring

Tulips start showing up in winter and peak in spring. Call and ask the florist what colors they have.

Simple and very spring

Tulips are one of the easiest ways to say spring. In Muskogee, tulips bloom at Honor Heights Park during the Azalea Festival in April, and cut tulips in shops often show up earlier in the year.

A tulip bouquet usually looks best simple, one color or a mix of two or three, in a clear vase. Tulips keep growing after they are cut and bend toward light, so the arrangement changes over a few days. That is part of the charm.

Tulips are popular for Easter, Mother's Day and birthdays in spring. Availability varies, so ask the florist.
