At just 8 degrees Fahrenheit, it was too cold on Monday to take any chances with the armloads of tulips that Lisa Kalan and Angela Baglione grow in their heated greenhouse at Seek-No-Further Farmstead in Monroe. Especially not on Valentine’s Day, one of the most important days of the year for flower growers, and a day when Kalan and Baglione had many tulip bouquets to wrap and deliver to local stores. Not bad for a couple of farmers who had never even dreamed of growing flowers until a few years ago, when they went on a tour of a Bowdoinham flower farm. That’s where they learned that tulips are always in great demand.
