The tulip is the most popular cut flower in Sweden.

this country, wich means about one million tulips a day!

There is about 6000 registered tulip sorts in the World.
The names of the tulips is registrated in a special name committé,
The Commission of Tulip names, in Holland, which is the homeland of the tulips.

It is beautiful with big bouqets, and also to mix tulips 
with other cut flowers from the garden.
A very nice Spring bouqet is with tulips and marguerits.
If you make a mixed bouqet, make sure you put the tulips shorter
than the others, because they grows fast, and the bouqet 
will be even with the other flowers.

How to take care of your tulips! 
Make a new cut on the bouqet and put it in a vas with cold water.
Leave the wrapping on for straight flower stems and for the tulips
 to manage the change of temperature.
After one hour you can arrange the tulips as you like.
Itīs a good idea to put the flowers cooler at night, it will last much longer.
The tulips grows fast and if you think they are too long, you can cut them again.
