Last week, I asked Lane how many Fancy Tulip varieties Sun Valley is growing.  I expected a tidy, one-line answer like, 6 or 7 varieties.
 

Lane with our current Fancy Tulip varieties, more to come!

 Oh boy, I had no idea.  Lane sent me to the coolers with a list as long as my arm. I grabbed a bunch of each one and set to putting them all in one beautiful display.  Now, I’m not AIFD or a Pieter Landman or a J Schwanke, but I’ve worked with flowers nearly every day for six years, so I am competent with tulips…  but this pile of tulips was huge and a bit intimidating.

Even some of our office staff came by to see what I was doing, and as I told them I was going to get all these tulips in one relatively small tulip bucket, there was a sense of general disbelief and perhaps even a snicker or too.

However, I like a challenge (that’s why I work in the floral industry!) so I persevered; aligning the tulips by variety, color and stem length.

Then, in one epic moment, I grabbed the entire bunch with both arms and triumphantly dropped it gently into the bucket.

Amazing that they all fit.

The 2019 Tulip Season is off to an amazing start and Sun Valley is the your go-to farm for the best quality and best varieties.
