All the Tulips We Grow on Our Flower Farm

[@kimjapinga6550]

I think you might see more doubles and specialty flowers in colder climates because Darwin & traditional tulips are frequently grown as landscape tulips and therefore are pretty common. When those customers go for tulip bouquets they want something a little different than what is growing in their yard. Great video and I enjoyed the discussion of what your customers want in a tulip.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

I think you are 100% right!

[@ambethk77]

Yes, a lot of people near where I am won't buy regular tulips. But honestly the doubles are so expensive. It's super hard to make a profit.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

@@ambethk77 no one can grow tulips here really so I haven’t encountered that thankfully

[@VirginiaFlowerFarm]

I’m in zone 7 Virginia- tulips are super easy to grow.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

That’s great! But unfortunately it is not just the zone that indicates ease of growing. Many other condition factors matter

[@kobedeister5234]

What a wonderful collection for 2024! 🌟

[@CoramDeoFarm]

We are excited!

Wow so interesting, I am in Canada, near Montreal, and I couldn't sell your selection. My customers have singles in their gardens, so I can only generate interest with unique doubles and parrots. I add just a couple of singles in unusual colors (like Queen of the night) to temper the cost of the bouquet, but I can leverage a higher price overall for my tulip bouquets (28$CAN for 12-14 stems) than for my summer flowers (20$). I am trialing Dutch Iris this year, to fill the May gap, they are very affordable bulbs (0.15$CND for a mix) and I just put them inground at the same time as the tulips, I am very curious to see whether my customers like them. And whether florists like them. Thanks for sharing your plans!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

That is interesting! Good to know your customers. No one here has tulips so any choice I make is a thrill 😅

I love the name of your channel ❤ Just found you guys today. My husband and I welcomed our first baby about 5 months ago, and out of nowhere, I have this huge desire to plant flowers and vegetables, particularly for her and her memories and teaching her to do so also. Please pray that I would do this and succeed for the love and glory of God and for the love of my family. ❤ Do you have any tips where to start? Thank you! May God continue to bless you guys! Soli Deo Gloria!

[@kelleyforeman]

I love that you took a month off! What a great decision for your family!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

We enjoyed it so much

[@Smartlady56]

I agree that triumph tulips are a great option and they are lovely.

[@sheelaghomalley5459]

Looking forward to your tulip planting video. Have just ordered 5,000 bulbs and will most likely order another 1,000 of doubles. Still watching from France on vacation. Back to the flower farm in Ireland in a few days. Am looking forward to getting back to it x Enjoy your break

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Yay! Oh I hope you enjoy your break as well!

[@carolrichardson2824]

Am enjoying the video's. Do you have one showing how you planted your tulips? The mountian resort you filmed at is beautiful. Peaceful.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

We filmed that video but haven’t edited it yet. Soon!

[@lindajones9191]

I've seen the Queen of Night and other very dark tulips paired in landscapes with very pink tulips, and the color combination is striking. A mixed bouquet of these two colors might sell very well if you're in a market where people tend to avoid dark tones, especially in spring.

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Thats a great idea!

[@jenronsani4713]

I don't come up with any Holland Bulb Company with a google search. Could it be the same as Holland Bulb Farm? But I don't see any for 20 cents/bulb, even in the mixes.

[@chariprice]

Sounds like a great plan and I enjoy seeing what you’ve picked! I need to order for my own home garden so I wrote down a few to consider. I have purple and yellows in my front yard and then back yard around my pool is red, yellow and orange. I love tulips and plan to plant more than I did last year 🤭

[@CoramDeoFarm]

i love it!

[@bhazleton]

Love the out takes

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Haha 😆

[@bhazleton]

A fun video. Thank you

[@ambethk77]

Really good advice!😊

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Thank you!

[@ruralangwin]

I'm having a very difficult time finding any late tulips from wholesale sources.

[@kit2130]

I have an off topic question. I noticed you made new flower beds with fabric liner & then cut out openings. Why did you choose that method over cardboard to cover the weeds & compost on top of that to plant in? Thanks!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

The weeds are way too aggressive here for that method

[@YanickaQuilt]

Hello, french is my first language and i had to look up how to pronounce the tulip's name lol so don't worry about it. All those flowers will look amazing!

[@CoramDeoFarm]

that makes me feel better! Lol

[@Elisabeth_Vidgrain]

Then you don’t live in France as it is quite a well-known region. « gne » is pronounced like « ñ » in Spanish 😉

[@CoramDeoFarm]

I believe she is in Canada :)

[@YanickaQuilt]

@@Elisabeth_Vidgrain I am French Canadian. I was unsure if the n was a hard one like "Bretagne" or a soft one "ñ". D'ailleur j'adore les différents accents que l'on retrouve dans les différentes parties de la France comme dans le film Jean de Florette ! Ou the "gn" est délicieusement utilisé.

[@Elisabeth_Vidgrain]

😉 yes, it’s like in Bretagne. Now I understand your hesitation. Canada is a bit far away from Dordogne ! I live in Belgium 😊

[@rbrown2746]

Alex, did you have any customers that complained about the parrots opening so much ? This is my first time with them, and I'm not sure if I should explain before they get them

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Zero

[@rbrown2746]

@@CoramDeoFarm Thank you!

[@citymousestudio]

My doubles averaged 47 cents each, not 80 cents

[@CoramDeoFarm]

Just sharing the prices I saw :)

[@jenronsani4713]

@citymousestudio where are you buying your doubles?
