Does Your Garden Have the Luck of the Dutch?

Four Blossom Orange Bouquet Tulips

Good things come in fours. Like bouquet tulips. Do you know how lucky you are to find a four-leaf clover?  Why you would have to have the luck of the Irish!

According to Wikipedia, there are 10,000 three-leaf clovers for every four-leaf one. If you have to look through 10,000 clovers to find a four-leaf clover, that would take you a very long time. If and when you did find the four-leaf clover, you would be lucky indeed. Like finding a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow.

What about the luck of the Dutch? When something is uncommon or rare, it is considered good fortune. Many of today's tulip bulbs come from Holland. Did you know that there are four-blossom bouquet tulips? How lucky are you when you find one? Two blossom and three blossom tulips are rare, too. But they do exist. When you find any of these beauties, you have just found a "bouquet on a stem" that is the envy of any tulip arrangement you place into a vase. That is exactly what these rare flower are - bouquet tulips. You just don't find them everywhere.

Look at the picture above. See the four stems in the one tulip plant? They are marked with white numbers. Each stem has one blossom marked with black numbers. This bouquet tulip plant has four orange blossoms. You are really lucky to see this - this is a rare tulip flower. You would have to look in a lot of tulip gardens before you ever saw one.

Just so you know, the common tulip plant yields one flower. You plant one bulb, that grows into one tulip plant, that forms one bud and blooms into one tulip flower. That is the way it has been for hundreds of years. In hundreds of thousands of places around the world.

Today, with modern science of hybrids, you can buy and plant bouquet tulip bulbs that grow two, three and even four shoots for every tulip plant each shoot yielding a colorful blossom. Remember not every tulip bulb can do this. Very few tulip gardens have these rare bouquet tulips.

Bouquet tulips make excellent tulip arrangements of cut flowers. Put two or three stems in a vase and you have a beautiful bouquet of tulips greeting you in your house. And when your neighbors or family visit, just think of how amazed people will be to see these unique and unusual gorgeous tulips on your table.

Tulip season is very short. At most, bouquet tulips bloom for four weeks, from mid-April to mid-May, if you can find them. Then, the petals fall off and the plants die until next year.  That means there are about 48 weeks out of the year, there are no bouquet tulips growing in your garden or gracing your kitchen table.
