Tulip Tips
You know spring has sprung when these beauties start popping up. Set your table with love – perfect love that is. Tulips signify “perfect love”, and each color expresses a unique meaning. Yellow tulips symbolize cheerful thoughts, white expresses forgiveness, purple represents royalty, and red says, “Believe me.”
Tip: Re-cut the stems of your tulips when you get them home to keep them fresh longer. Cut the stems diagonally, removing about one-half inch. Tulips continue growing after being cut, up to an inch, and will conform to the shape of the container, so keep this in mind when choosing your vase.
