This month we delight in bringing you the Old World beauty of French Tulips from Holland. As the national flower of the Netherlands, this style of tulip is a rare breed, retaining qualities that are above and beyond other varieties of the tulip. More expensive than most, they retail for about $5-6 a stem. One of the more unique and delightful features of these Dutch ladies is that they keep growing after they are cut - growing up to 5-6 inches more while in the vase! When placed near a window, they will turn themselves towards the sun, opening more when it is warm and closing when the temperature drops.
