Today we're diving into the wonderful world of tulips, probably the most loved springflower in the world! And it's understandable really, what's not to love about tulips? There's just something about them that puts a smile on your face, don't you think? :)
These vibrant blooms are great to use both in the bouquet twister or in a kenzan. Our big Kenzan ring has plenty of sharp spikes, and as seen above it can hold alot of tulips!
No matter if you're a seasoned pro or a novice with a love for all things floral, arranging tulips in a Hanataba is both fun and rewarding and the result is likely to bring you joy! In the bouquet below we've used elegant french tulips and some blossoming branches in a Hanataba Original Crystal Clear. A simple, yet stunning springbouquet!
As you may know, one unique characteristic of tulips is their tendency to continue growing even after they've been cut, so don't be surprised if your arrangement looks a bit different the next day. Just give the stems a trim and adjust if needed – it's all part of the fun. To keep your tulips fresh it's essential to fill your vessel with clean water and to cut the stems with a sharp tool to ensure maximum water absorption.
So grab your favorite tulips, get creative, and let your inner florist shine! Happy arranging!
Fun facts:
Tulips hold significant cultural and historical importance, particularly in the Netherlands, where they have been cultivated since the 16th century. The Dutch Tulip Mania of the 17th century, during which tulip bulbs were traded at absurd prices, remains one of the most famous economic bubbles in history.
In the northern hemisphere commercially grown tulips are usually available from december until easter. However, in the Netherlands, the official start of the tulip season is celebrated each year on National Tulip Day, typically held on the third saturday of January. In Sweden we celebrate this day on the 15th of january.
Although the tulip is associated with Holland, Swedes buy more of them than any other nationality. Over 150 million tulips are sold annually in Sweden, according to statistics from Jordbruksverket.
Tulips come in so many different shades and varieties that the creative possibilities are almost endless!
Received as part of a bundle for my birthday. Not had time to try the bouquet twisters yet but loved setting up the flowers on this and they held and lasted a long time. Excited to play around some more.
Glasyren har runnit väldigt osnyggt, klump i botten, ränder och ojämn i färgen. Inget speciellt med skålen heller. Har frukostskålar från IKEA som står bättre.

Thank you for your honest feedback, Emma. We’re very sorry that the bowl you received didn’t meet the standard we expect from our products.
As I wrote to you in our email conversation, we’ve sent a new bowl to you, and of course, you don’t need to return the one you already have.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope the replacement will be much more in line with what you expected from us.
Super schön! Die Schale ist genauso, wie ich sie mir vorgestellt habe ☺️ Ich habe absolut nichts auszusetzen und kann die Schale zu 100% weiterempfehlen.
This is a beautiful tool. It is sturdy and well-made. Heavy and a delight to use. I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to do large airy arrangements.
Roligt att man kan göra andra sorts arrangemang med blommorna. Passar perfekt för dahlior som inte går att ha i bukett då stjälkarna är för korta ibland. Övar fortfarande med hanataban men fakirerna är toppen!
I love my new flower ring and vase. I am looking forward to experimenting with more flowers. It will be a joy to keep filling it with seasonal flowers.
I wish the acrylic ring was a larger size.
Zonder enige ervaring met bloemen kon ik een mooi bloemstuk uit mijn eigen tuin voor op tafel samenstellen. Het is wel even uitvinden hoe ik de stelen moet afknippen zodat het boeket mooi rechtop blijft staan. Superleuk om op deze manier met bloemen bezig te kunnen zijn!
First one arrived with paint defect after a few days I got a response and a replacement was sent out very swift delivery but then that once arrived smashed to pieces currently still waiting on a email response to the second arriving smashed
Shame as the item is nice am just having a lot of issues
