Our Tulips , Lilies , Butterflies , and Iris credibly do n’t even gain they live in a temperate rain forest . "

Since we reached the first daylight of spring last week , let ’s desire these temperatures keep mount .

We have many wholesale customers pre - booking to verify they get the stems they require to be reserved for the holiday . fortunately with tulip , we can swivel to meet demand by take more crates into the glasshouse and fetch them to reap quick . As a California - based farm , we also fend off the bottleneck of Miami , so we can be more nimble in providing product for our customers across the country . "
