Fun and Original Tulip Flower Arrangement
Do you love tulip flowers and are looking for a fun way to display them? How about this fun and original tulip flower arrangement.
Finally the sun is shining again, the birds are chirping and I can smell spring in the air.
High time that I bring in some of my all-time favorite flowers to decorate with in spring. Of course that would be tulips ( I am Dutch after all!).
But let’s not do it in the regular and old-fashioned way.
Let’s have a bit of a bit of flower arranging fun with a grocery store bouquet of pink tulips.
I love tulips and they are bountiful at the stores right now. I don’t think I have been without tulips in my house since the start of this year. Gotta love that.

They are such easy, hardy flowers. With a wonderful mind of their own.
Did you know that tulips are the only flowers that keep growing even after you have cut them? It’s the reason they don’t work so well in mixed bouquets, they’d be towering above the rest in no time.
So best let tulips do their own thing and be a star all by itself.
I decided to play with the playfulness of tulips a bit and arrange them a bit differently. Turned out quite nice, didn’t it. They have been like this for a couple of days now, seems they are quite happy this way.
Although there are the two that are trying to make their escape…..
If you want to arrange your tulips like this too. This is what you do:
How to Arrange Tulips Inside a Glass Vase
After bringing your bouquet home leave them out of water for at least a night. Just lay them down in a cool place and let them be. The stems will go soft and bendable.
Use a wide mouthed glass vase and add a layer of water.
Cut the tips of the stems of the tulips and remove most of the leaves.
Carefully bend the tulip in the vase making sure the stem is soaking up water. Arrange to your liking and enjoy your tulips.
And that concludes my flower arranging lesson of the day.
Have a great week, my friends!
This is really a pretty flower arrangement, Marianne–I love pink tulips!
Wow! I did not know tulips are hearty. I think of them as fragile. They do not grow super well in my area so I’d have to buy them. I love how your jar looks too. It’s what makes this bouquet so unique. If I can be daring and play around, ill try. But oh I love them just as they are growing floppy over the edge!! I may have to get a ride to Trader Joes for a bouquet!! I’ve got the bug for some now.
Ps. All of a sudden while viewing the many ways to decorate eggs, a flagged page with a warning came up. It said try again and I did and same thing. It said something about a warning and your end was preventing us from your page due to a danger. Did anyone else get this?? I have a Mac so viruses aren’t a problem…
Your tulips are so beautiful resting lazily in their vase. I love the look. I bought tulips for the first time last week. I did not know that they keep growing but now understand why they were hanging all over the vase. So this morning I trimmed them back and they look fabulous again. I saw a vase similar to yours in Ikea a while ago so I may need to go back for another visit so that my tulips have a nice place to rest too.
