 Bucket of freshly cut Speciality Tulips May is peak time for our Tulip harvest.
And once they begin to bloom, especially on a sunny day, they come fast! I seem to walk a flower field circuit, pulling them up ready to go. Then I turn a corner & the varieties visited at the beginning of the circuit have a few more popping & ready to go! To get the longest vase life from Tulips, catching them at just the right stage makes a big difference. The plus side of all the recent rain means fabulous long Tulip stems this year. The 'Peony' flowered doubles begin early in the month & next up are the Parrots. After all the Spring yellows of last month, the pinks & burgundies are a refreshing change in 'Friday Flowers' bouquets. It might seem early but I'm already planning my Tulip crop for next year. Which colours & shapes should I grow in 2025? If you're planning your Spring 2025 wedding in Galloway or are a florist wanting my speciality Tulips next April & May, do let me know. The order goes in this month...

 Photo credit Luke Bennett Photo It makes my day when I receive gorgeous photo's like these in my inbox! Cally & Chris captured beautifully by Photographer Luke Bennett at their wedding at Cardoness beach in early May. The Bluebells were covering the the woodlands by the shore in stunning blue. I included early mini white Narcissi, Tulips, Scilla, Viburnum & Amelanchier blossom in Cally's bouquet. All grown here except for a few pure white Alstroemeria & the Scilla from a grower in Cornwall. (A few miles north, mine weren't quite ready). Very impressed by the colour co-ordination between the blue Scilla & Cally's boots! (see picture below) Thank you Cally, Chris & Luke for allowing me to share the photo with you.
