Most Popular

They stand alone as the one flower that collapsed an economy. There are various versions of this event but the Tulip is without question one of the world’s most popular Spring flowers. Originally from Turkey, the bulbs worked their way across Europe and finally landed in Holland where they became wildly popular. The cost of individual bulbs skyrocketed to where each bulb sold for hundreds of dollars. Today, you can find them in hundreds of colors at a cost of $33 dollars for 100 bulbs. Not a bad investment when you consider the yearly color splash that will electrify your yard just when you need it most. I’ve planted them for years and each time I thought there was plenty of time with a lingering fall. Invariably, I found myself digging in the ground on the most miserable day in November. I stayed warm knowing that when they emerged from the cold, frosty ground in Spring they would be spectacular. I have never been disappointed.
