First of all, I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season. We were quite busy at Ben White Florist, stumbling around the shop trying to make our way through all of the poinsettias, while also trying to have functional respiratory systems amidst all of the cedar, pine, and lovely (and allergy-inducing) winter greens. Despite the allergies, the holiday season was quite lovely.
Now, on to the present: the tulips have finally arrived! Each year, we anxiously wait for these delectable Holland treats, biting our nails in anticipation of their glorious and somewhat celestial arrival. For a measly $10, you, our dear and devoted customer, can have an entire bunch of these gorgeous ladies to enjoy in your very own home. Why not bring a piece of history home with you? Interesting factoid: Tulips were responsible for the very first economic speculative bubble, their price being 10 times more expensive than a skilled craftsman's yearly salary (Thank you, Wikipedia). So, be a part of tulip mania and pretend like you are living during the 17th century Dutch Golden Age. Treat yourself to some royal flowers. Plus, since tulips aren't really associated with the winter, fool yourself into thinking it's spring! I swear, once you have a vase full of tulips in your house, you'll never be unhappy again.
