Tulips (Washington State)

This documentary covers a variety of topics including cultivation and farming activities, meeting people who raise and process these beautiful flowers and bulbs, and discovering the many varieties and colors of Tulips that have been developed. In recent years the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, in Washington state, has taken on county fair proportions becoming a "Rite of Spring" for the entire region. Each April, hundreds of acres of blooming fields attract nearly a half million visitors from all over the world. This new DVD also takes a deep look at the hard work throughout the year that goes into creating the magnificent Tulip flower as well as the process of bulb farming. In the Fall, planting and fertilizing, Spring brings harvesting, and Summer the bulbs are dug up to be cleaned, sorted and stored for replanting in the Fall so the cycle of bulb cultivation can continue.
