I always figure that people just know what I know. I hope that you were able to find some pretty dark purple blooms. I am always disappointed when the tulips bins are empty and like you, I am not a fan of the conglomeration bunches. They are a quick ticket to an allergy attack for me. ;) I also agree that yes, sometimes, those beautiful red buds do not last as long, but while they are here they are glorious!

I didn't know to choose them small and tight, or that paler colors lasted longer or most amazing of all that they continued to grow. I was ready to buy some at my local Publix, but no tulips. So disappointed. Only those big bunches of a conglomeration of different colors and flowers. I will wait until we go to Trader Joe's next and try them, tight little pale bunches. Or maybe my favorite, which is dark purple, even if they leave me more quickly. Some things are just worth it, like your red!

But I did go and buy some for my mom today. It is her 86th birthday and while there is not much she is able to do or eat at the nursing home, she loves a bouquet of pretty. I actually bought her the pink ones I featured here. I believe they are called Angelique, but you'd know better than I. They are full with lots of layers of petals and bright pink. I think she liked them! :) Thanks for asking Carla!Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-43370136371652709822017-04-07T18:15:31.858-04:002017-04-07T18:15:31.858-04:00Oh Brenda, those drooping tulips.
