April Showers Bring May Flowers.....and More

I love April showers because it's the beginning of the flower season.  One of my favorite times of the year.  The selection of fresh cut flowers returns for a few months when everything is fresh, new and filled with sunshine and warmth.

Whether walking in the city along the canal and the aroma of the planted petunia beds passes in the breeze, or driving in the car with the windows down passing a farm meadow lined with overgrown lilac bushes, the true reward is the satisfaction I get from creating and displaying these seasonal beauties. Oh, and how about the peonies....I LOVE the smell of peonies and lilies.

The best part of flower season is how creative we all can be with fresh flowers. Here are some ideas on how to display your fresh cut florals.
















These floral display ideas can be used in freshening up your porch, patio and indoor spaces for your own enjoyment or for entertaining.  The possibilities are endless when creating a fresh cut floral display.
