This series of blog posts - called 'Tiny Blooms' - are about small flower arrangements. Small - might be the size of the container or it could be the size of the flowers or the amount of stems. It can also be that the arrangement is minimal both in presentation and that it's simple, quick and easy to do. Apart from that there are no other strict rules - I'm allowing myself a lot of creative freedom!
I know this series of blog posts are called 'Tiny Blooms' - so why am I featuring Large Parrot Tulips. Well, if you have followed 'Tiny Blooms' - you know that it's not really always about small or tiny flowers but more about simplicity.
The lovely Cel Robertson from Forever Green Flower Company gave this bunch of parrot tulips to me last Saturday, at our local farmers' market. She was reluctant to put them on the compost heap and asked if I could make use of them. Well, my answer was of course "Yes, please"!
I removed the foliage, trimmed the stems and put them in a large clear glass, vintage pickling jar. What could be more simple?
I also added a bit of vintage lace, which made it almost look like a Dutch flower painting.
Enjoy your flower arranging and have a fabulous and floral Monday!
I'll be be back on Wednesday with more floral delight from Of Spring and Summer.

Ingrid, I think those tulips at maximum bloom are gorgeous! Their colors and twisty opened petals sing a festive song. How lovely to have received them as a gift.
