I enjoyed preparing these flowers for a friend’s shower recently. Since the shower was for a baby boy we tried to pick colors and textures that were more in line for a boy.
The orange tulips were amazing!

Pink and green tulips and dahlias
We are in late spring and everything seems to be blooming. Pink and green flower are everywhere!
Happy yellow flowers
These arrangements were for a while ago when Bess came and visited me. I forgot to post them!
Yellow China Mums, Sunflowers and Song of India with orchids and jasmine from my garden. Happy!
Happy Mother’s Day
I wish my Mom lived closer so I could arrange flowers for her everyday. This arrangement would have been hers if she was here. Instead it goes to a dear friend who is a Mom too.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Happy Happy Yellow
I was lucky to have Bess Wyrick my flower teacher and friend come by and spend the morning with me playing with darling yellow flowers.
Dandelion, you’re a pretty little weed
Dan – de – lion  – french to english translation is teeth of a lion. A notorious weed that is fierce in its ability to survive and pollinate and can withstand tough and harsh conditions. It is a pesky weed but isn’t it a pretty one?
Medicinally it is used to treat infections and cure ailments of the liver. It is also has culinary value and is used in salads, wines and even as a type of coffee.
Folklore says that blowing the seeds off a dandelion carries your thoughts and dreams to your loved one.

Happy Easter
I hope you had a joyous and peaceful Easter.
I didn’t make it to arranging these flowers yet but wanted to share their beauty.
Ranunculus joy
How do you know when the beautiful Ranunculus flowers are in season? 3 big beautiful bunches for 10 bucks at the farmers market is a good indication. I love these flowers so much and would buy them all the time but most of the year they are very expensive. I was so excited to see big bunches of the beautiful flowers all over the market yesterday. I really like the variegated one at the bottom, sort of reddish-purple. Beautiful!
Purple plum tree
I am totally crazy about flowering branches. They look so beautiful in their simplicity and could either add amazing height to an arrangement or just be perfectly spectacular alone. The first pic is the amazing blooms in my backyard!

Spring greens and whites
I have been so bad about posting lately but not because there’s a lack of beautiful flowers out there! I’ve seen so many pretty flowers recently and love the spring greens and whites that are popping up everywhere.
Here are a few inspiration shots I’ve found…
