Giving, Tulips, Easily Recognized, Most Loved Flower |
||||||||
We are drawn to Big, Colorful Tulips We are drawn to Tulips because they are easy to recognize by their shape and always have such striking colors. When given as gifts, they are not too soft, or too bold, not too elegant or romantic, but loving and friendly. They are not too big or small, they are always the perfect size. They make you feel hugged, happy, cozy and comfortable, just as we all want to be.
Cultivated varieties include the Dutch Tulip, even though they are grown throughout the world. |
||||||||
TULIP MANIA A 17th century phenomenon, named the ‘Tulip Mania,’ happened when the flower bulbs became so sought after and highly prized that prices for them went astronomically high. The demand was so great that prices soared and soared and then crashed very hard. The history of tulips is as full of stories and as colorful as the flowers. In the 1600’s, tulips were enjoyed by only the very wealthy. They were rare and were status symbols for the European aristocrats. When the buying mania exploded, a single tulip bulb could fetched a $2,250 in U.S. dollars. The mania reached its highest amounts between 1634 to 1637, and we duly named it ‘Tulipomania.’ This tulip mania is compared to the stock market craze of the 1920’s. Tulips do have a stately appearance, but today they are owned by the masses and have become one of the most popular spring flowers. |

NOT ORIGINALLY FROM HOLLAND Tulips are from Central Asia. Daffodils are from Spain and Portugal. Holland does a lot of work on bulb flowers, developing them, producing them and exporting them. Many people travel to see the bulb fields and gardens. But Tulips are native to other far-away places. Bulbs did not naturally come from Holland. Dahlias are from Mexico. South American is the native home of Amarylis. South Africa for Freesias and Callases. Lilies are from China, Japan and North America. Original, natural, wild Tulips look nothing close to the ones developed, sold and grown today. There are so many different types and kinds available today and these Tulip flowers receive all the attention. It’s difficult to find the wild, native forms of the Tulip flower. |
||||||||
HOW MANY BULBS? Over nine billion flower bulbs a year are produced in Holland’s hybridization production fields today. Science and beauty and some smart marketing have caused the explosion of the need and desire to own bulb flowers. If you are able to make a trip to Holland, you can visit the 70-acre famous Keukenhof garden in Lisse. It is open every year to visitors during the spring bulb bloom. Millions of people flock there to see millions of bulbs in bloom. There are sculptures, lakes and winding pathways. It is the largest garden in the world, Holland. |
||||||||
TULIP COLORS – MEANING Tulips overall represent perfect love but different colors of tulip flowers take on different meanings and significance. Red Tulips are seen as true love, not just romantic but any type of love. Purple symbolizes royalty, elegance, richness, deepness. Yellow Tulips have taken on a modern theme of friendship, happiness, cheerfulness and sunshine. White Tulips are used to get a person’s attention, ask for forgiveness or mercy, or to be thought of in a kind way. There are many variant colors that are mixed together, striped, edged or blended. Tulip colors are rich and deep but seem to glow in the light, making parts of them bright, with the light reflecting through. This gives them both a strong and a soft, warm look, all at the same time. |

Holland The Netherlands The Netherlands (Holland) is one of the smallest countries in the world. They have over 6 million people living there. Holland is located in Western Europe, between Germany, Belgium and at the other side of the North Sea, lies England. The Netherland’s capital is Amsterdam. Commercial flower bulb cultivation started in and around Haarlem about 400 years ago. Then it spread to the north and south. The area between Haarlem and Leiden is know as the ‘bulb district.’ Many resident, for many years, made most of their money from flower bulbs industries |
||||||||
How Tulip growing started in Holland At the end of the 16th century, Tulip flowers were introduced into the Netherlands by Carolus Clusius. Everyone took an interest in the beautiful flowers and bulb and started experimenting with them in many gardens. The demand grew. It was found that coastal areas had perfect conditions for growing tulips, with its mild winters and cool summers plus great soil, consistently wet but great water drainage. The Netherlands had a center of trade and help with the exportation of the bulbs. |

GROWING TULIPS Daffodils return year after year, dependably. They are repeater that give you more and more blooms as they spread. Tulips are easy to grow in the garden and the first year they spring up looking big, colorful and lovely. But they can have problems in years after their first bloom. It is a perennial flower but sometimes we have to treat it like an annual, that needs to be replanted each fall to bloom in the spring. Since it is a perennial, it should bloom each year. The problem is that our western weather is not the same as where the bulbs originated from, some 400 years ago, in Turkey. Where the winters are cold and the summers hot and dry. span> The Dutch have sandy soil but it’s wet there year around. They have a proven technological way to replicate the growing conditions that are needed to encourage growth and replicate each year. We cannot duplicate their precise growing conditions and treatments. So they have millions of bulbs, and supply us with new ones each year. |
||||||||
Tips & Guidelines for getting Top Performance for your Plant bulbs in a well-drained area. This is always good advice for planting bulbs, and is essential to have perennial repeat blooming. Overly wet soil causes the presence of fungus and disease or it can rot the bulbs. You can add organic matter to help facilitate drainage. Plant tulip bulbs six to eight inches deep. Always water the tulip bulbs sufficiently but without standing water, after planting to get them started. This will help it develop a strong root system in the fall before going dormant in the winter. Once they have bloomed in the spring, after the tulip blossoms have wilted, trip off the flower heads and let the green leaves & stem foliage to die back. This way the plant will continue to grow strong roots, so it can be healthy next blooming season. This will the bulb be perennial. Fertilize is important. Fertilize the bulbs in the fall and spring. Unless, you treat the bulbs like annuals, then it is not necessary to fertilize them. Use a low nitrogen fertilizer or special bulb fertilizer. Plant your bulbs in the fall. Space them 4 inches apart. If you plant a tulip seed instead of a bulb it will not bloom for 5-7 years. |

Varieties of Tulips Colors, sizes, types. There are many. Overall there are about 1,700 varieties of tulips, with about 80 percent of them come from the Netherlands where the growing conditions are optimal. It takes about 5 years to develop a tulip bulb. Horticulturists harvest the seeds one year and place them in a special room. They then remain outside for another year. The next three years it is in the field waiting for a bulb to develop. To create a new species it would take about 20 years. What you do now will not show results for years. Perennial tulips should come back year after year, unlike many of the hybrids. Buy Tulip Bulbs. Send Tulip Flower Bouquets. |
||||||||
WHAT ARE TULIPS? Tulip is a genus that has some 100 species of flowering plants in the botanical family Liliaceae. The cultivated varieties are associated with Holland, but tulips are also native to southern Europe, north Africa and Asia. The tulip is the national flower of Iran and Turkey. Tulips are perennial bulbous plants. We recognize them quickly. They have six petals which are called ‘tepals.’ Scientific classification |
||||||||
FRESH CUT TULIP BOUQUETS & ARRANGEMENTS Cut the stems diagonally. Put in vase with fresh water and plant food. Re-cut the stem diagonally and replace with fresh water daily. Keep out of direct sunlight. Tulips should last 7 to 10 days cut and placed in a vase. |
||||||||
Growing Tulips in Containers Alert – If you are going to grow the tulips in a container, keep the container out of direct sunlight and warm areas. The soil needs to remain cool or the plant will think it is spring. This will cause the tulip bulb to grow a stem and try to bloom too early. The root system will not have developed properly at this time. |

In the course of a day, we are frequently interrupted and distracted from our activities by problems – conflicts with family member, disagreements with employers, poor living or working conditions, boredom, loneliness––to name just a few. It is easy to get preoccupied with living, thinking, organizing, existing, and working that we can often disregard or push aside our needs for relaxation and simple pleasures. So, have a better day, in America – by enjoying some good company, sharing a little wine and food, and taking surrounding yourself with art that takes you away to inspiring places. The Perfect Gift for someone who has everything. |
||||||||
We have all been reared in a production-oriented society and many of us feel guilty, or not at ease, when they are not actively involved in accomplishing tasks or producing things. Run, run, run. Our vacations can even become whirlwind productions that leave us exhausted after cramming them with too many activities, that we do not come away refreshed and rejuvenated. It’s hard to change gears and wind down, it’s a practiced art. |
||||||||
enjoy just being When we pursue relaxation with the same schedule and push for time, productivity and activity that we have in our complicated, fast paced lives, we’re not turning off our body clocks and gaining the satisfaction of just being instead of always striving. The secret in getting the best results from attempts at relaxation is simple: Find those activities which give you pleasure, and, when you pursue them, commit your energies to total mental and physical well-being. Put some music on and sing (you don’t have to have a good voice to do this), take more walks in parks looking at the gardens, paint a picture with a kid or kick back in your favorite room and let your mind wander. If your endeavor takes you to being artistic, musical, learning, that’s great but remember that relaxation, not achievement or obtainment, is your main reason for participating in the activity. |

Looking for Sometimes change is just what’s needed. It can bring us a new perspective and a fresh look. There’s the opportunity for good times, or maybe better times. You can imagine what’s around the corner, letting your thoughts take you to places you love, fishing on the lake, reeling in the big one, joking with a friend, maybe even out-fishing him and holding onto that for a time. We move on, we change, just as much as the seasons do, each one somewhat familiar yet it’s new. Time to enjoy great sunsets with old friends and keep an open mind, to inviting new friends in, to watch a movie and admire your art and wander in the home you so proudly earned and worked hard to make your own. Time to pause and reflect with some good coffee, or if you’re a wine drinker, some good wine, a little cheese, and savor fine chocolates. How good is life, that we have all this. We are, still able to have so much, many little blessings, simple, and connected together, stacked on top of one another, we have a tremendous amount to be thankful for, to be grateful. We can read each other stories, we can talk freely about our beliefs. Here in America, we can even appreciate each other’s humor, forgive the person’s flaws, and agree to disagree with a smile. |

Bath and Body Gifts and Baskets
LIVE LONGER Life is change – constant change. We can only do well if we acknowledge it, embrace it and move through it with as much grace, gentility and openness as we possess. Our seasons are times of change. Sometimes dramatic, but mostly gradual and one escapes while another is welcomed in. Autumn is a colorful display of change, of progress, of process, of leaving behind and moving forward. We see the change visually and feel it as the seasonal changes bring us shorter days, less light and a different type of light. One of winding down, slowing down. It brings us inside, to nest, to snuggle, think about summer days gone by. FRIENDSHIP & LOVE. Bring the New Season In Yes, any time of the year, with the passing of any season. Bring the outdoors, inside. Natural and Organic colors and pictures give us a more natural, grounded and balanced environment. Bringing us life, making us feel more alive. More likely to have a content smile, and a warm heart. |

FIND YOUR RETREAT We seek out retreats for ourselves in the country, by the seaside, on the mountain tops… but often it is there, we cannot physically travel. We must then go inside, our home, our offices, and retreat into ourselves, resting within our thoughts, and travel to our retreats in mind and spirit. Letting go of our pasts and bringing forward our futures, with hope and faith and goodness, for ourselves, and to bring back enough water from the well to share with others who have forgotten how to travel afar.

This Year More Than Ever Chosing the Right Personal Gift Art’s purpose is to gratify us and satisfy our needs and desires. We not only need to express ourselves by decorating our homes and offices to create environments that are pleasing to us but we want to proudly show and share with others who we are and what’s important to us. It’s gratifying to us, and we anticipate the enjoyment others will receive and the attention our art will get by others as they find themselves taken in by the colors, the tone, the mood, the story. You have great flexibility in choosing art that is attractive for it’s impact, expressing a point of view, the quality or style. We all want to belong and experience a connection with the thoughts and ideas that the art work presents, and have others join with us. It is very personal, the relationship that develops between a person and the art. We are attracted to scenes and settings that we can relate to, understanding the meaning and appreciate that we can identify with the art and the artist. Art allows us to create, give and receive attention. All of us open ourselves to receiving compliments on our choices and can find it fulfilling that we own art that is fresh, real and unique. That becomes part of us and represents us. We can feel good when whenever we view it, comfortable with it’s statement, value, importance and significance. We commit to the art we buy and look forward to the rewards that it will bring us.

SEEING THE WORLD AS ART Baslee Troutman – Flower, Garden, Landscape, Fish and Wildlife Artist I catch myself framing landscape or scenic scenes as they unfold. Imagining how it would look as a picture, wanting to capture it. Seeing it in pictures that can be designed. Capturing the feeling of the moment, the senses it ignited, the mood it created, with it’s colors just right, the light, the symetrics, the flow, as if a frame could hold the theme in place. A way to remember a place and time, that would never be replicated. In that moment only, the movement, the motion, the time, the tones and color and light. In that combination, needs to be kept and captures, and expressed. Holding time still. To share with others. Hoping they will see what only exists at that particular moment. Because it wont be replicated, just as it was ever again. Somehow, it would be forever lost if not recorded, at least in somebody’s mind. It can be changed, rearranged, blending themes, placing different scenes together, overlaying them, organizing, removing flaws, blending colors, adding components. Taking the original and creating what has never been seen together before. A new Original. Only in your mind as it is created, thought by thought, stroke by stroke. So you too may have traveled, where I have, if only in my mind, what I see when I close my eyes and wander. Away from the realness of daily activities, beyond any harshness or sharp lines, outside of the structure, never minding the common practices, forbidding approved procedures and processes. Where there are only the rules you create. No demands, no critiques and all that matters is if it is pleasing to look at. Does it evoke feelings and emotions, and senses that take you to a better place, does it let you dream and anticipate having the best luck and good fortune. Does it bring sensations of calmness, wonder, awe, letting you enter into and follow your own story, whatever it is that you want to see, to create. And follow that path more than once, letting you change the ending or the meaning until it is what you’d like it to be. Close your eyes and believe. Baslee Troutman wishing you healthy, happy and prosperous travels. |
