STEAMBOAT SPRINGS On Wednesday, florist Amy Tirone and her staff at The Tall Tulip were busy creating one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Day flower arrangements.
“Christmas is by far the busiest season, but Valentine’s Day is our biggest single day,” said Tirone, who owns and operates the downtown Steamboat Springs flower shop. “We love Valentine’s Day, because the flowers are extra amazing, and we have a lot to work with.
“Usually we have to have kind of a smaller order, because we don’t want to throw away flowers at the end of the week, just for our weekly orders,” she explained. “On Valentine’s Day, we just have such a huge variety that it’s really fun.”
