Fall’s Finest Blooms

Finest Blooms FALL'S

Orange Tulips

Tulips in the fall? That’s right! To get these seasonal orange tulips, we partner with growers who ship the bulbs from New Zealand— where the Southern Hemisphere growing season is opposite of ours. They’re shipped to North America in May, planted and placed in cold storage for 12 weeks to simulate winter. The greenhouse-grown flowers then bloom in the fall and are delivered to our stores weekly to ensure freshness. $8.99ea | 1 bunch

Bi-Colored Sunflowers

Best known for their cheerful, bright yellow faces, sunflowers actually come in a range of colors. This just-for-fall variety features a combination of vibrant yellow and rich mahogany accents. They’re grown in the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador, where surrounding volcanoes create nutrient-rich soil in which the flowers thrive. $8.99ea | 1 bunch

I wanted to pass on praise for Rachel, who assisted me in the floral area. I bought an orchid for a friend’s desk. I was afraid it would tip over on the way home, so I requested a box to stabilize it. Rachel diligently searched and returned with the perfect size and shape box. After she packed the orchid securely, Rachel even helped me out to the car with it. As a result of her help, the orchid arrived home safely. None of the flowers or petals were damaged and my friend was thrilled with her gift.” beverly s. | greensboro, nc
