Tulip

Admittedly, in the past, tulips were not a favorite of mine. They seemed a little plain or one note, but growing on my own and trying new specialy varieties has re-inspired me.

Tulips grow perennially from bulbs planted in the fall. The hope you have to put into them is truly something else, and you don't quite know what you are going to get more than six months later.

The resillience of this spring bloom through the winter is pretty remarkable. Lots of strength can be drawn from the tulip.

-Em Pek, Frayed Knot Farms

Tulips belong to the Lily family, first found in Southern Europe and Central Asia. The tulip became popular after being featured prominently in vibrantly realistic Dutch still life paintings.

Think simply, even just a few tulip stems make a striking statement. The ruffled edges of the parrot tulip especially make for a great use of unexpected texture.

Embrace the unique way that tulips age -- the way that the life cycle creates different shapes and structure in an arrangement. I love them most when they are arching their necks and creating swoops of stem and flower.
