Small bulbs, big beauty! 🌷

Sometimes, the smallest things make the biggest impression. Our small wild tulip bulbs may be tiny in size, but they are full of character and charm.

These wild tulips are perfectly suited for gardens, parks and pots, bringing a natural and colourful touch wherever they are planted.

G-stage, The big thing!

Every incoming bulb lot is assessed to determine its G-stage, a critical developmental milestone before temperature or cooling treatments can begin.

The process starts with a representative sample of bulbs. Each bulb is carefully cut open, and the flower bud is examined under a microscope to evaluate its internal floral development.

The G-stage (derived from the Greek gynoecium) is reached when the pistil is fully developed and clearly visible. Only when every bulb in the sample has
reached this stage is the entire lot ready for the next phase of the production process.

Accurate G-stage determination is essential for successful temperature programming, uniform flowering, and consistent crop quality. It remains one
of the most important quality control steps in professional tulip bulb production.

Quality starts the moment the tulips arrive.

Every day, our team carefully inspects incoming tulips, checking for:

🌷 Physical damage
🌷 Signs of disease
🌷 Temperature & storage conditions
🌷 Variety and quantity

A thorough inspection today means healthier bulbs, smoother production, and better results for our customers tomorrow.
