That was the title of a good piece in the Telegraph.
The article would be useful for units on Farming and also links through to a range of other themes, including the migrant workers who pick the blooms and the use of technology to improve productivity on the farm.
A single tulip stem in a vase on the desk could set you off in many directions and global connections.
I drive through these tulip fields (well, not literally through them...) on the way up to Sheffield, and they are impressive around this time of year. A lot of the flowers are grown for the bulbs rather than for the flowers.
Also a link with Louise Ellis' GA KS3 toolkit book on the buying of a Valentine's rose: "A Thorny Issue"
