Skyline's Reach

Where can you find Skyline Flower Growers? All over the United States and even in Canada. We like to remind folks that don't know, what we do. There are many layers in the flowers industry and this gives you a look at our reach. There are flower breeders, bulb growers, bulb distributors, wholesalers, florists, etc... We are a FLOWER GROWER which means we are the FARMER. For more about us, check out our website: www.skylineflowers.com.

Another great thing about Skyline, is that we are family owned. We are a 4th generation Flower Grower/Shipper/Wholesaler with locations in California and Washington.

Our attention to detail and excellent customer service is beyond compare.

There are three locations in California where we grow our flowers, totaling more than three million square feet of state-of-the-art greenhouses, shade houses and open field production. Our nurseries are located in Oxnard, Camarillo and Nipomo. We have chosen these locations for their cool coastal breezes and moderate temperatures which provide some of the best flower growing conditions in America.

Skyline's French Tulips & Tulip field in Holland

Happy Friday! We are cutting good numbers today of French Tulips (that's what's pictured here) as well as Regular Tulips on one of our California farms. We've been sharing some good information about Tulips on our blog. 

Below is a gorgeous pic of a Tulip field in Holland. It was sent to us by a Dutch bulb grower there last year. It is incredible to see you! 

Learn more about Skyline's French Tulips

They're as fresh as you can get, straight from the farm. While we do grow some of our flowers year round such as Ranunculus, Dahlias and Gerberas and we're known for that, these gorgeous French Tulips are only grown at Skyline Flower Growers for a short period.

We also grow several different types of Tulips including Regular, Peony, Renown Unique and Parrot. The Tulips tend to keep growing after they are cut. The blooms gravitate towards light and warmth so their stems tend to grow towards that.

As far as French Tulips, they are larger than Regular Tulips. Their average bloom size is between 2-3 inches and an average stem length of 22 inches. If you're wondering what colors we have, we do grow lots of different colors. Today, we are cutting them in pink, red, yellow and white.

Do you want them standing up in your vase or flopping to the side? We've talked about this before and will have a video showing you how to get the desired look in your vase. That will be posted in the near future.

Ranunculus - we grow them year round!

Good morning! Here's a look at one of our Ranunculus. Currently, we are cutting them in white, yellow, red, light pink, dark pink as well as orange. We do grow these flowers year round which makes us unique.

If you're wondering about the meaning of this flower, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX0tEEoV2vc. It's good information to keep in mind especially since Valentine's is quickly approaching.

Fragrant Freesia

Good morning!  We have some incredible Freesia available at Skyline Flower Growers.  If you're wondering what colors:  dark pink, lavender, light pink, red, white and yellow.  Ask your Sales Representative for availability.

They have an amazing fragrance.  It's also the 7th wedding anniversary flower.  In the language of flowers, Freesia is said to symbolize innocence and friendship.

French Tulips now available at Skyline

It's always a customer favorite! We are now cutting French Tulips in pink, yellow, red, light orange and peach. Contact your Sales Representative to make sure you don't miss out on these beauties.

Our flower experts at Skyline recommend cutting your French Tulips with the sleeve on the flowers and putting them in a vase if you want your flowers to stand up straight in the vase. However, if you prefer them bending down then they say go ahead and take off the sleeve before cutting them.  It's something to keep in mind.  We'll show you the difference in a future blog.

Symbolic meaning of white tulips

Happy Friday friends! Today, we want to share with you a picture of a simple but elegant white wedding bouquet. It's Pinterest Inspired: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/380694974722019812/.

As far as their symbolic meaning, some say white tulips represent purity, innocence, forgiveness and respect. They are a great flower for a wedding or to give as an apology. According to several websites, the tulip is the national symbol of four countries: The Netherlands, Hungary, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey.

Do you know the national flower for the United States (without researching or googling it)???? We'll be sharing the answer to that in a post coming up in the near future.
