We know you need the best quality flowers to give to that extra special person, and thats why Botanique florist is now offering Luxurious lilies and tempting tulips at provocative prices. 


Tulips are vivacious spring-blooming flowers that can grow from 10cm - 70cm tall. You'll be astonished to learn that it takes up to 8 years to grow a tulip from seed to flowering size. Holland is the world's biggest tulip exporter, producing up to three billion bulbs anually. In the 1630's, a period historians call "Tulip Madness" saw tulip prices skyrocket . A sale of 40 tulip bulbs was negotiated for 100,000 florins  - that's $1 299 000 or $32 745 per head in todays Australian dollars, a skilled labourer at that time would have earnt 150 florins a year! With that kind of exuberant price, you wonder why they didn't call it Tulip Insanity instead, as today you can order tulips online from Botanique for at most about $6 per head (price subject to change, so please contact botanique to find out the current prices).

 

Lilies tend to flower during spring and summer, and are available in many different sub-breeds and colours. A lily flower blossom, shaped like a trumpet can grow up to six inches across, and stand up to a metre tall. If you're already familiar with lilies, you'll know that the pollen buds of a lily flower is nigh impossible to remove from your clothing. Botanique florist removes the pollen buds off of the flower to keep your clothes and luscious petals clean and beautiful. No matter what you choose, you can be sure that these flowers are going to brighten up someone's day. For information on what we have in stock, please feel welcome to contact Botanique Flowers.
