In my last post I told you I had found some tulip tips just peeping up through the cold ground.
Since then our weather hasn't improved. It's still cold and has poured with rain everyday.
Yesterday we had some publicity posted in our mailbox
advertising these tulips in a basket for only 3.99€
Similar to the ones waiting to flower by the front door of my ' Petite Maison '
We dashed off to the S/market ( Aldi ) which is 30 mins. drive from where we live, hoping to buy at least
two baskets, but I was so disappointed.as they had sold out early that morning.

I did the next best thing & bought a bunch of tulips @ 1.99€
Tulips are not easy to arrange as they will soon bend over, drooping to where ever they want to go.
Have a peep at the pictures I've taken to show you what I was able to do with just one bunch.
I brought out some of my small white containers that I love to use for flowers.Then chose
a few tulips, cut the stems short and opened out their petals to make them look like this.
Have you ever tried doing this?

I first saw this method about 30 yrs ago, when I wanted to learn about flower arranging.
I'll always remember it, as the demonstration was given by a man who showed simple ways of using just one
or two flower stems with clusters of flowers and buds cut to produce a very decorative arrangement.

As you can see, one bunch or bouquet, I should say, as I live in France, goes a long way.
Hope you liked what I did with one bouquet of tulips from the super marche.
and @ a Bon marche prix.
