This is the fourth in a series of corsages/boutonnieres I am making of this year’s flowers, grown here at our Victorian Gothic black dirt farmhouse, The Blawnut House, in the Hudson Valley in New York. I grow the flowers, photograph them, laminate them, and turn them into pins!
I have a signature deer-repellant spray for my plants that consists of diluted eggs and milk. The deer hate it and it keeps them from munching the lilacs but I never make up a batch in time to save the tulips. They love to eat the tulips. So I’ve been transplanting them to protected areas and have been successful saving a few this year. This is one of them.
The pin is a little larger than life, measuring 4 inches at it’s widest diameter. There is a double center that makes it slightly three-dimensional with a stainless steel lapel pin fastener. Each pin is signed, numbered, and dated. Collect them all.
Tulips are native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. They were first cultivated by the Ottoman Empire ( modern day Turkey) in the 10th - 14th centuries.
