I visited on a whim, the florist immediately explained her inventory and showed me the lovely seasonal options. The Tulips caught my eye and were adorable. Within 20 minutes she made this lovely custom arrangement. My fiance loves them even though roses are her favorite. I can't wait to visit again soon!
