Tulip Arrangement

They seem very English, but the flowers in this tulip arrangement were once thought of as exotic.

On a sideboard, as a centrepiece or on a low coffee table

Tabletop Yucca
£10.00
Until relatively recently table-top yucca plants like this were almost unknown in Britain. Probably because yuccas grow naturally in the semi-desert regions of Texas, New Mexico & Arizona. However, once 'discovered' they became popular very quickly. It's easy to see why. Exotic, unusual

Tulip Fever Bud Stem

Something very strange happened in Holland a little under 400 years ago. Certain tulip bulbs started to produce striped flowers, a condition which we now know was caused by a virus. However the effect on Dutch flower fanciers was astonishing. Tulip bulbs were bought and sold for what quickly became astronomical prices. Fortunes were gambled, won and lost as the nation succumbed to 'Tulip Fever'. Actually, 'Tulip Madness' might have been a better description, as one bulb - a Tulip 'Semper Augustus' - is said to have changed hands for 5, 000 florins, plus a new coach and two horses! What that represents in today's money is difficult to ascertain, but we'd probably be talking several hundred thousand pounds. Happily our tulip bud stem is appreciably more affordable... and more durable.
'Tulip Fever' lasted less than seven years; our tulip bud stem will be giving you pleasure for a great deal longer.
