It’s much more “evergreen-ish” than I had expected from the pictures. Experimentation though has been what this “off” season has been all about.
I used it in the arrangement at the end of this post but in all honesty, I’m really not sure how I feel about it. These are very delicate and petite, with dark stems and bright little flowers. However, I’m always trying to stretch myself. I wanted to play with a little burnt red, a color that I really don’t get along with. Until that time, what you need to know is that they’re California grown and have 2 layers, which makes them extra ruffly, almost like a peony. I would have liked them a little more open for these arrangements, but I guess I’ll just wait and hopefully post an updated picture.
I’m still waiting for them to open, they’re a little tight and no matter how much persuation I’ve tried, it’s all been to no avail. When photographed, these were about 1 1/2 week old. Now you might be thinking that I chatted enough about mysteriously colored tulips last month, but I did forwarn you that more tulip love was sure to come this spring.
La Belle Epoque TulipĪ little bit yellow, kind of amber, leaning towards dusty rose with a little apricot and caramel mixed in, maybe even a touch brown? What color IS this tulip? Dreamy. There’s something about this lavender shade that is just so perfect – not too pink, not too blue, not too dark. Still gorgeous and you can’t beat the soft texture they add. These ones are domestic, grown in California. I know I was just talking about them last month and the incredible color the Japanese varieties offer. I didn’t mean to add sweet peas to the list again this month. Now that I know what to order, I’m using them all the time. I first came in contact with these a couple summers back not knowing the variety name. Who wouldn’t love a flower with a vase life of more than a month!? These ones are a little creamy, almost blushy – but not really, not ivory, not white just… perfect. I have some in my studio still from March and they’re looking great still. Yes, I’m preaching about carnations again. Here are 5 flowers I played with in April that I want to share with you: Champagne Brut Carnations

In fact, I’m offering Mother’s Day bouquets that are available for contact free pick-up or delivery locally – shameless plug, but if you’re interested, you can shop and see more details HERE. And I’m no longer afraid of not being able to source flowers. But here we are at the end of the month and things seem to be leveling off a bit. Weddings were dropping like flies, wholesalers were closing down and piles and piles of flowers were being discarded. At the beginning of the month, I wasn’t sure if I’d get to touch any “non-local” flowers for the rest of the season. It seems like each part of the country and each industry and even each person has been affected somehow, but differently, with all the sickness and staying home. Whatever your wedding style-bright and bohemian or polished and classic-there's a way to make this seasonal bud work for you.Here it is the last day of April… what a strange month!

Either way, the flower is worth considering.
