				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Calgary Wedding Flowers | First Bloom I Loved:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>I share my favourite bloom from childhood.</em></p>
<p>The first bloom that ever caught my eye and stayed in my heart is the <em>Tulip</em>. My dad always had clusters of tulip bulbs planted in hopes for their beauty to show in early spring. It is always the first bloom to brighten my garden and bring the hope that winter is nearly over. It truly is a very unique, simple bloom that signals the beginning of spring, brings colour to a new season, and makes me smile every time I see it. Still to this day, despite all the beautiful flowers I design with, the tulip is my favourite flower to have in my home. Even at 35 years old, my dad and husband often surprise me with fresh-cut tulips! Tulips bring back fond memories of my childhood and make me feel like a little girl!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>I am looking forward to designing wedding bouquets with this beautiful bloom!</em></p>
<p>Here are some neat facts about tulips:</p>
<p>*Scientific Name: Tulipa (I almost named my floral design company Tulipa)</p>
<p>*Meaning: cheerful thoughts (yellow), forgiveness (white), royalty (purple), perfect love (red)</p>
<p>* 75 wild species</p>
<p>* Grown from a bulb that blooms in early spring</p>
