Last week I was incredibly lucky to score almost 50 stems of tulips. Aren't they lovely? My boyfriend's studio is next door to a commercial landscaping company. Apparently they dispose of large numbers of plants and flowers on a regular basis! I went over to his studio and dumpster dived for flowers! Okay, well sort of. The dumpster was overflowing with soil and plants and flowers, so I got up along the edge of it, and walked around it pulling tulips out. They were still in the pots. We cut most of them for placing in water, but kept one pot which was fairly intact. The blooms are all gone now, so I have about a dozen bulbs. Anyone know how I should store them?
This photo shows only about one-third of all the blooms we had! I don't think I've ever had so many flowers in my home at once. I placed some of them in little glasses and spread them throughout the house. I just love spring flowers!

Beatiful flowers and photo!!!! I used to work next to a florist and she would give me old flowers all the time. I miss that so much! Old doesn't mean ugly to them!
