The Ribbon in My Journal – Phyllis Hoffman DePiano

Simple Tulip Tips from Dorothy McDaniel

I was lucky to meet Dorothy McDaniel years ago. She has been a featured floral designer in Southern Lady magazine and was a big hit at Southern Lady Celebration. She owns one of the most successful floral shops in the Birmingham area, Dorothy McDaniel’s Flower Market, and loves teaching people her tips and techniques for working with flowers.

Anyone who knows her knows that the tulip is unmistakably her favorite flower. I was delighted to catch her in her shop and steal away a few minutes with her. She shares with us her love of tulips and some wonderful tips for making our own tulip arrangements.

You can purchase Dorothy’s tulip vases here. Thank you, Dorothy, for taking the time to share these tips with us.
