Lesley N. Frascogna : Owner - Lover of Flowers - Designer
I have had an ongoing love affair with flowers for as long as I can remember. I’m not quite sure when it all started, but I suppose my earliest floral memory is Lily of the Valley. I was about 7 years old when I first discovered it growing in the woods behind the house that I grew up in. I was fascinated that such a delicate, wonderfully scented bloom could thrive in the forest with minimal light. I remember pulling it from the ground, bundling it up, and carrying it around as if I were carrying it on my wedding day. From that day forward, I was hooked.
It took until 2005 for me to open up Roscoe Blooms in Chicago, IL, my first floral boutique. The years in between were spent growing up, working in the catering and event business, gaining valuble experience working in local flowers shops, and of course, dreaming of flowers. I have and will always continue to make flowers my life’s work.
To me flowers are imperfectly perfect, magical, stunning, transcendent, and unpredictable in the most marvelous way. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and scents. I am amazed by their beauty everyday and I feel so lucky to have found the one thing I am most passionate about. I am truly in love with flowers and my hope is to share that with everyone around me.
TULIP was founded in 2008 after I moved to Jackson, MS to be with my wonderful husband. TULIP is my floral studio specializing in high-end one of a kind floral art. TULIP is all about bringing fresh ideas and concepts to the floral world. TULIP Is awesome!
