BC's most beloved tulip festival now blooming in the North Okanagan! Bloom Flower Festivals is excited to bring you the first annual tulip festival in the North Okanagan featuring 2.5 acres and over 20 varieties of tulips!
Because this company is working with Mother Nature, the exact blooming dates can be hard to predict. Festival dates will be announced closer to opening, however it would be safe to plan for the end of April and the beginning of May.
Tickets can only be purchased online. Please click here to view Bloom Flower Festivals' website for more information.
5050 Knob Hill Road Armstrong, BC.
Tulip Fun Facts:
-
At one point in history, tulips were the most expensive flower in the world. Between 1634 and 1637 it is said tulips cost almost 10 times what an average working-class man earned in a year; this time period was known as “Tulip Mania”.
-
Currently tulips are the third most popular flower in the world, with roses coming in first and chrysanthemums coming in second.
-
Tulips will only bloom naturally for 3-7 days in spring. If you trim the stems of your freshly cut tulips, they will continue to grow in your vase for at least another inch.
Have a lovely long weekend with family and friends.
Kind Regards,
Rhonda & team
