Tulipes formidables

Tulip season in Holland runs only a few weeks a year, and we wanted a bunch that captured that same short, bright window, real color packed into one simple gift. Twenty five stems felt right for anyone who wants color to take over a whole room, ten for anyone who just wants a taste of it on the counter.

Sizing is really the whole story here, so we'll start there.

What's in This Tulip Bunch: Fresh cut tulips arrive as a bunch filled with color, in your choice of ten or twenty five stems, gathered simply with a little seasonal foliage. Nothing else competes with these flowers, just color and joy.

Tulip Color, Stem to Stem: Tulip color shifts a little through the growing season, so the exact mix depends on what's at its best that week. Expect anything from soft pastels to bright, bold tones, never one flat shade.

Choosing 10 or 25 Stems: Ten stems make a perfect gift for a coworker or a neighbor; twenty five fills a real vase and lets it sit as a centerpiece for the table. Both arrive from the same fresh delivery and match in every other way, just different in volume.

Where This Bunch Fits: Tulips work well any time someone wants real color on a table, no card or occasion required. A new-home gift for friends and family, or a simple pick-me-up for a coworker, all suit this bouquet just as easily.

Delivery Timing: Same-day delivery is available for this bouquet in most areas nationwide for orders placed by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays. Ordering a few days ahead helps guarantee the exact day you want during our busiest stretches.

• Trim the stems and change the water every couple of days.
• Tulips keep drinking after they're cut.
• They also keep growing a little in the vase, so don't be surprised if they lean toward the light, part of the beauty of real, living flowers.
• That's normal, not a sign anything's wrong.

• Tulip supply can shift fast with the weather, so our designers occasionally swap in another variety of equal value to create the same color story.
• What arrives stays true to that week's best blooms, not necessarily an exact photo.

Do the tulips arrive already open?

Usually not fully. They tend to arrive a little closed and open wider over the next day or two, so the look keeps changing, part of the fun of watching them settle in.

Is twenty five stems too many for a small table?

Not really, there are so many options for splitting this flower arrangement: one big vase, or two smaller ones for a second spot in the house, whichever helps create the look you want.
