When the first sunshine peeks out after a long winter, we all crave color. That's exactly the moment for bulb flowers. They're the messengers of spring, energy, and joy. In floristry they're among the most popular, since they offer an incredible palette of colors and shapes.

Did you know the first tulips were brought to Prague from the Middle East as early as the reign of Ferdinand I of Habsburg? They've felt right at home here ever since.
-
Colors and shapes: Thousands of varieties exist today. A very popular one is the colorful Garden Mix Tulip, which brings a whole palette of spring colors to a vase.
-
Symbolism: A red tulip is a declaration of love, a yellow one brings a smile.
A florist's tip: "Tulips are one of the few flowers that keep growing even in a vase. After being cut, they can stretch a few more centimeters. Keep that in mind when choosing a vase."

These beautiful flowers are a symbol of Easter. We most commonly know them in yellow, but there are also gorgeous double-flowered varieties, such as the Narcissus Atika, which stands out with its rich center.
An important warning: "A freshly cut daffodil releases a sticky sap that's toxic to other flowers (it clogs their stems). If you want daffodils in a mixed bouquet, first let them "bleed out" alone in water for 30 minutes, then pour that water out, and only afterward arrange them with the other flowers."
3. Hyacinths: A Scent That Will Amaze You
Hyacinths are loved for their intense, intoxicating fragrance. They form rich clusters of tiny flowers in blue, pink, or white.
Tip: The potted hyacinth is very popular. It's a wonderful gift that lasts longer than a cut one. Once it's done blooming, don't throw the bulb away — you can plant it in the garden, and it will bloom again next spring.
4. Ranunculus: The Rose of Spring
This flower has been an absolute hit in recent years. With its full, ruffled blooms, it resembles a peony, but flowers much earlier.
Uses: They're gorgeous in bouquets, but also as a potted plant. A potted ranunculus will brighten up any windowsill or spring planter. They love cooler air, so they'll also thrive on a glazed balcony.
5. Iris and Gladiolus
-
Iris: Its name means "rainbow" in Greek. Blue and purple irises create a stunning contrast against yellow tulips.
-
Gladiolus: While the previous varieties belong to spring, gladioli are the queens of summer. They're tall, elegant flowers that bring a sense of grandeur to any interior.
How to Care for Cut Bulb Flowers?
Bulb flowers have soft, watery stems. To make them last as long as possible:
-
Cold water: They love ice-cold water. During tulip season, feel free to drop an ice cube into the vase.
-
Less water: Fill the vase with only about 5–7 cm of water (don't fill it to the brim). Otherwise the stems could start to rot.
-
A straight cut: Unlike roses (which we cut at an angle), bulb flowers should be cut straight across.
Whether you choose a bouquet of tulips or a fragrant hyacinth, bulb flowers will bring the true energy of spring into your home.
