March

March's flower of the month is a Daffodil. You know it is spring when you see these flowers pop out of the ground. Time to plan the garden!

Friday's Favorites

On my birthday the BFF took to one of my favorite places, Reading Terminal Market. We had a great time! Not until we got there did we realize the Philadelphia Flower Show was going on at the convention center only a block away. So traffic was crazy, parking was limited, and everyone decided to eat lunch at the market.

If you're ever in Philadelphia the is a must see. Along with the other hundreds of sites.

February

I know February is almost over. But I wanted to let you know the flower for the month, which is Viola.

Some of the species of the Viola are commonly know such as; pansies, violets and heartsease. Pansies are one of my favorite. I can't wait until I can plant them again. Whenever the snow melts!

January

If you haven't noticed the picture in my heading is a bunch of carnations. Carnations or Dianthus Caryophyllus are the birth flower of January. A lot of people a not fans of carnations. They are thought of as cheap filler flower. I think they get a bad wrap. If you get a large bunch all the same color and put them in a simple pretty vase you be very pleased. Give carnations a chance the next time you need to buy flowers.

Spring/Summer Wreath...

I've been searching and searching for a wreath that I liked since the end of Christmas(which is how long my wreath from Christmas has been up, plus it was a real wreath and really dead!). Finally I decided to make one. I'm not one for fake flowers, but for a wreath real flowers are not an option. I wanted something that I could be used up until fall and with my favorite green. I'm pretty pleased with the finished product!

I planned a 50th anniversary party a couple weeks ago and I did 13 arrangements with white hydrangeas. So I decide also to practice taking pictures.
