I love the videos when you go through seeds/bulbs etc... I love hearing your opinions on how they grow and how much you love them! You speak my language and even though we aren't having a conversation it helps to keep me from chatting the ears off of my family and friends about plants!!
everytime i watch your unboxing videos, i wanna have all of the bulbs or seeds or whatever you are showing to us. you are so excited, that i am getting excited too. i love these videos!!!
Haha, I was DONE planting bulbs for the season but you just made me order som Double Gudoshnik and Sunlover, LOL! (They're on sale - yay!) I wasn't going to buy any more bulbs, no more, none! :) But thank you for the inspiration to fill my tulip beds with doubles because they truly are amazing. I'm trying the hyped up 'La Belle Epoque' this year, just to see why it's so expensive. Maybe it's fantastic, maybe it's not, I don't know. Can't wait for spring!
Holy cow, look at all those bulbs!!! An entire skid full of them!!!! 1:48 swooning over the great big gorgeous bright colorful tulips! Palmyra - a town near me - pronounced pal - like "he's my pal". The pictures you showed of each variety are a great big help. I'm not even going to try to pick a favorite. Amazing video! Hugs and kissies for the kitties!
I'm uk but I've grown palmyra for tge last 3 years the best way I can describe it is its the colour you see if you look through a blackcurrant boiled sweet it's deep burgundy with purple flashes and it is probably my favourite dark tulip but I'm with you on exotic emporer although they have renamed it white valley now
I haven’t grown tulips for years, when they were discovered by deer 🦌, but seeing yours, and since I started spraying Liquid Fence early to keep the deer from eating my iris, daylilies and whatever else started growing in spring, I’m going to order tulips again. It’s worth a try. I love the beautiful colors and spring flowers.
I totally agree about the doubles being difficult to beat, but some of the lily tulips are stunning. I have a dark purple one and not only is is a huge flower but it catches the light and looks like velvet. It's honestly breathtaking, it makes queen of night look subpar. Plus is grows 50cm tall and I use it to rise above the doubles ❤❤in arrangements.
Bridal crown is amazing! But don't harvest it till most of blooms are open on the stem. The longer you leave it the taller it gets! And so easy to pull when they are fully open.
I'm so excited to see you grow the new varieties, especially the pink ones! :) I think pink comes second only to your oranges. But yellow is indispensable. :)
I am NJ USA 7a. I have been growing ice follies daffodils for the last... this will be the fourth spring. I just noticed this morning a half an inch of growth popping through the soil. I'm so excited! I'm not a huge daffodil fan but there are two that I have all over my property most of them are the ice follies. I love how they start out one color (the corona) and then it fades to all white and if I remember correctly they're also scented but the other daffodil that is delnashaugh. I enjoy your videos very informative as well as entertaining I'm not a flower farmer but your tips on planting and flower arranging are awesome!
It's the most wonderful tiiiiiiime of the yeeeeeeear! 🎵 🎶 (Just kidding. Summer is the best time and you and I both know it, but we can dream of spring together.)
A good Queen of the Night double substitute is Black Hero. It's exactly the same except double. Bulbs are expensive but the flowers are super tall and big
I don't know my favorite bulb yet. I go to the Skagit Valley fields in the spring and am always just wowed and overwhelmed. Last year I decided that I am more of a classical single tulip fan for garden planting. I love the darks and purples. but the oranges get me too. I am not really into the whites but totally love the blushes. I like the pinks. I love that I can watch your videos, learn so much, and catch some of the energy from you enthusiasm. Wishing you the best for all you plans in 2024!
I live in Illinois and we've had 76°days last night it got down to 24, but usually, our winter starts around Halloween, so we've had a warmer winter for sure, and I'm loving it
Tulips are going to great, Serina. Nicole is not facing her bulbs up this year. It seems some flower farmers have found it doesn’t matter. I had a bulb this year that started growing before planting and it was sending out a stem from the bottom. I also have a white daffodil with a short pale yellow trumpet that multiplies like crazy. I can’t tell you the variety. I bought it many years ago. I have given away bushels of them. Pity I can’t send bulbs into Canada. Love Ian’s purple and green shirt. That would be a good one to wear to the market. It would enhance the bouquets. 😊💕
Those are going to be beautiful. I don't grow that many tulips because in Zone 8b we don't get cold enough to support them growing. I do grow daffodils thought. So I live vicariously through you! 🌷
Exotic Emperor really is a beauty. I suggest to your viewers that they buy the best quality and biggest bulbs of this tulip, since they're not truly perennial. I've bought ones from box stores. They're puny. It's the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
My God, how I envy you, in a good way. Lots and lots of happiness!! Now wait for spring and see the flowering.)) DAFFODILS!!! I love them like tulips. However, sometimes the flower head is too heavy for the stem, in terry. My favorite tulip is a double peony Renoun Unique. I also have a Double Gudoshnik,Miranda ,Yellow Pomponette,Angelica.
I get excited about your bulb order too! And yes, it’s going to be beautiful this spring there; it always is. I really love the anemones and ranunculus, but failed with them last year. I don’t know if I want to try it again. Flower Hill Farm planted all her tulips in bulk planting this year for the first time. Brad used the tractor to make a wide deep trench. I love seeing every ones planting styles. I don’t buy tulips because they’re deer candy here, but I do like the Gudoshnik tulips you bought and Liquid Fence has been working this year to keep deer away. Maybe I’ll try tulips again! I can’t wait for your next video! Take care.
Daffs will continue to increase over the years and so your initial investment will have many returns. And yes...nothing eats them. Bonus. You could flag the very shortest daffs each year and lift and pot on and sell as potted colour. Lots of people say you should not put daffs into mixed bunches.
Love seeing what you bought! Here's a thought (OMG, here I go again) . . . when you harvest the long stem daffodils that are mixed in with the short stems, dig up the bulb and relocate it to another spot that has all long stem daffodils. Even put it in a crate, if needs be.
hi Serena , im watching your order and I realize a few things ! 1. a few years back I had my first order of tulips made and planted , and it was something from colorblends as I had no idea of any other places to order at that time and they had everything nice sold out , I ended up getting double red and yellow mix and single mix of red, yellow and white, and now looking at your order I. think it was yellow pompanet and red miranda ! they both have that specific black markings in the center and yes they are big but my problem is - they break their necks!! from how heavy they are ! for two years straight I was SURE it was squirrels and bunnys chewing them off and I was so mad! so I cut some trying to save them for inside - and what do you know ? they started snapping off in the house!! it took me a week to realize no-one was chewing them inside, so it MUST be the nature of a heavy flower head ! I wonder if you had any complaints ? may be I should pick them early, then they won't be as big and heavy as they get outside.... but they come back for me 3 years in a row now and im in Minnesota . 2. seeing as you purchase really big great quality bulbs I wonder if its worth trying to replant those same bulbs (after you picked them ) somewhere in a ditch as you said and see what happens.. considering that you pick them as budds and they don't draw all the bulb energy I wonder if they could grow back for you again !! add some bone mill and see if you can reuse those bulbs at least two years in a row , wouldn't that be a huge game changer for your farm?! make a trench with a tractor, throw all those discards and cover up and forget till next spring.. yes they will not get as much nourishment as with leaves left but still those are great quality bulbs and may bloom second year at least , just wondering if you ever made experiment like that with replanting used bulbs ?? and thank you for your in-depth videos!
Its fun to see all the varieties! Have you tried the brownie tulip already?? It is a beautiful brownish orange double with many colors including purple in it! It would pair awsome with the bradley tulip! I also have the exoctic emperor and it has returned for many years! I have also the orange emperor which is in the same family (fosteriana tulip) and is very pretty! For the daffodils, i also love the pink/peach tulips and love the pink charm and delnashaug in my garden! Tahiti is also a great performer for me! There are soo many great varieties! :)
Great video! I've been watching your channel for a while now and I've always wondered, why don't they grow daffodils? You've answered that perfectly in this video. I'm excited to see your spring bouquets! :)
Have you considered leaving the anenome in the ground in a tunnel they can be perennial outdoor for us and in a tunnel they might be for you and you might even get an autumn flush as they have done that here in the uk this year
Daffodils do great in Australia zone 9, but there are not many places that are cold enough for tulips so bulbs are wildly expensive and just not worth it in my opinion.
Can't you claim back tax on purchases as a compagny in Canada? In Belgium all VAT(value added tax) on purchases for a business can be redacted in the vat declaration. We have put all the vat on purchases and all the vat you have to put on your sales and then only pay the difference to the gouvernement. (or get back money if the vat on the purchases was higher than vat on the sales).
Ms like she said they throw them away. Not sure why they wouldn't plant them in their personal garden area. Just a trial planting just incase they make it.
@@debbiedoll2294when you cut all the greenery, there's nothing to"feed" the bulb, so it doesn't regrow. They experimented unsuccessfully in past years.
I grew Palmyra in pots, once, just as a 'normal gardener' in small scale. The stem length doesn't compete with Queen of Night. The color is right there though, I would rather say it is like a thick red wine burgundy, not so purple to me, but unique and beautiful for sure! 🤗 Isit spring now?.. Are they blooming now... 😂😂Greetings, Judit Ps: I thought, if you put the shorter ones, in the high tunnel, which filters light, they should get taller, since plants strecht towards the light 🤔compared to the ones, outside with dark strong light, they should be taller.. just a thought.
In Ian's defense......I get orange and green mixed up so when he said "green" as I looked at the photo of the "orange" freeman's I thought that he was right!!
Sounds like colorblindness to me. Have you ever heard of those glasses they sell for colorblind people. Might be worth it. If you are mixing up orange and green (so different from each other) you might be missing out on enjoying a lot of other colors that you don’t know you can’t see
I am not buying more bulbs, I am not buying more bulbs, I am not buying more bulbs.......it's not working lol. 😂
🤣😭🤣😭🤫

everytime i watch your unboxing videos, i wanna have all of the bulbs or seeds or whatever you are showing to us. you are so excited, that i am getting excited too. i love these videos!!!
i ordered beach berry this year, i am really looking forward to see how the blooms will look like

So I'm shopping for bulbs as I watch and the Miranda came up on my screen ten minutes before you talked about it. It went straight to my cart. 😂
Oh I grew pink charm!! Love them
Holy cow, look at all those bulbs!!! An entire skid full of them!!!! 1:48 swooning over the great big gorgeous bright colorful tulips! Palmyra - a town near me - pronounced pal - like "he's my pal".

Did you see Nicole's video on how she planted her tulips this year? She planted them in 2 hours (10.000 I think)
I'm uk but I've grown palmyra for tge last 3 years the best way I can describe it is its the colour you see if you look through a blackcurrant boiled sweet it's deep burgundy with purple flashes and it is probably my favourite dark tulip but I'm with you on exotic emporer although they have renamed it white valley now

Use metal mesh wire 1 inch squares and pin into ground will leaves deers and, squirrels out too! Good luck!

What is its name?
Bridal crown is amazing! But don't harvest it till most of blooms are open on the stem. The longer you leave it the taller it gets! And so easy to pull when they are fully open.
Flowers, flowers, flowers. Yea😊
I have Alison Bradley coming up in crates right now.... such a beautiful color! I'm making lists. Next year is tulip fever!
I absolutely love watching your excitement, I wish you a fantastic next year!
Love seeing your excitement for the bulbs! My favorite Tulip has always been Angelique. My Mom had it come back every year. ❤
I love that one too!
I'm so excited to see you grow the new varieties, especially the pink ones! :) I think pink comes second only to your oranges. But yellow is indispensable. :)
Going to be beautiful

Love listening to your rational on why buying each bulb. I get tired just thinking of planting all those bulbs! My 200 is a drop in the bucket 😂
Love all the tulips..so excited to see your flowers in spring😊

Same - in zone 9, i’m looking at the tulips with envy but they are just no good for me!
Loving this video! Your descriptions are so fun and interesting, and the pictures from your garden (last year?) are FANTASTIC!

and thank you for your in-depth videos!
If you end up disliking Palmyra, I can suggest Double Late Black Hero. Uncle Tom is also dark and "moody". Love your videos! ❤
I hope Home Depot sponsors you guys!! Lol I’ve been looking at that Home Depot bucket for about 30 minutes. 🤣
Its fun to see all the varieties! Have you tried the brownie tulip already?? It is a beautiful brownish orange double with many colors including purple in it!

Nicole from Flower Hill Farm plants her tulips deep to get longer stems

I'm excited about peonies. 😎😎
I’ve always wondered why you don’t let the tulips come back the next year instead of pulling the whole thing up.
I am learning how to deal with tulips by watching You can't eat the grass.
Great coverage on the bulbs; besides physical barriers against voles, do you use repellents?
great video ! Question ? After the selling season for the tulips what do you then plant in that space?
Tulip Aveyron pairs well with Tulip Black Hero.
US Costco has 50 Delnashaugh package at $15 which sounds cheaper than the wholesale price
It is also cheaper than by us in the EU 🤣🤣🤣
I hope youcguys start making interesting videos again people watch you to see bouquets of flowers
You should try Purple Hero for a replacement for Queen of the night.they are super tall.
I need to know, were the Verona tomatoes as good as the Juliet tomatoes?
I’ve been warned about putting daffodils in bouquets with other flowers. How do you prepare them so they don’t hurt other flowers?
I hope you don’t get daffodil flies. I have to treat them like an annual. Some of them may come back, but not reliably. The larvae eat the bulbs.
Daffodils do great in Australia zone 9, but there are not many places that are cold enough for tulips so bulbs are wildly expensive and just not worth it in my opinion.

your sponsor for this video was Pantene not sqare space or I am wrong
What did you do with the last years bulbs?
Yes, had same question
They pull the bulbs with the flowers to have a long stem length. The bulb gets depleted growing the flowers.
Ms like she said they throw them away. Not sure why they wouldn't plant them in their personal garden area. Just a trial planting just incase they make it.
@@debbiedoll2294when you cut all the greenery, there's nothing to"feed" the bulb, so it doesn't regrow. They experimented unsuccessfully in past years.
Mine come back when I move them. I'm not sure why they wouldn't grow. When I buy them they have no greenery as bulbs.
♥️♥️♥️

Just wondering, you don't use the bulbs from your farm.
Flower farmers have to pull the bulbs with the flowers. The bulbs get depleted by growing the flowers so they are only usable for one year.
Bridal Crown has such a strong scent it's borderline unpleasant...like lysol
💕🎶
Nice haul! Try pronouncing it goo dosh nick 🤓😉
!
I would not cut 100 bulbs of each type so they can multiply for a couple years. Then you can split the bulbs and replant for free.
