Flowers to the rescue for last-minute shoppers

Tulip Tidings

 If you're running short on time, you're stranded in an airport or looking outside your window at snow, sleet or rain, you may have a name or two on your gift list that you can't cross off. If that's the case, remember that a bouquet of flowers can save the day.

Festive, fresh and fragrant, you don't have to worry about wrapping, carrying a heavy gift box, or finding the right size or color. It's a present an entire family can enjoy and it's calorie free.

Flower Fact of the Day: The word tulip comes from the Turkish word for turban. After its introduction to Europe, the tulip was hugely popular, spawning tulipomania in Holland between 1634 and 1637. Because so many people lost their fortunes in the tulip market, the government started to regulate the buying and selling of bulbs.

I am a floral photographer of a different sort.  I'd like the opinion of other flower enthusiasts as to whether or not my style of photography would make a good fit in florist stores. You can view my website at www.artfulearth.com.  I welcome and thank you in advance for your comments and recommendations.
