Fresh Cut Flowers

Depending on the time of the season, there are many cut flowers to choose from, both in the garden and at the florist.

Tulips, stock, eucalyptus and roses make a great statement together.

This is a great combination that is in my garden right now as I write this. Hellebores, Japanese Roses, and Quince.

Spring Bulbs

I love tulips for spring. Doesn’t everybody?

I used to pick some up at Trader Joe’s. But then I tried something.

I planted a raised bed full of these spring bulb beauties in my garden this year so I could cut them anytime I wanted to take them indoors.

Next year I will have 3 or 4 raised beds full of tulips.

I really got my fill of them this year.

Plants

House plants are a great way to bring the outdoors in for spring. But I do have a confession to make. This ivy plant is the only one I have in my house right now that is real. The other plants are faux.

Flowering Branches

There are so many beautiful tree and shrub spring blossoms that would look stunning in your home. Whether you force bloom them or bring them in as they just start to bloom, they will make a huge impact.

Faux Flowers and Greenery

When you don’t have the option of fresh flowers, faux flowers are the next best thing. And I have to admit, I sometimes like the faux version even more because they last longer, and I can add them to my baskets.
