Spring is here, and with it comes a beautiful bevy of fresh flowers, at remarkably lower prices. I love flowers! They brighten up a room and are very easy to arrange. I'm no flower expert, and I can name not more than ten types, but I love arranging them. Below: green flowers (green looks fresh) brighten up a bedside table in a shiny mint julep cup.
Red flowers in a short clear vase on a hall table strike a rich note. Red is dramatic.
Hydrangeas and orchids (that's three types I can name!) look lovely in a parisian glass. I am a big fan of the hydrangea; they're big and inexpensive. Here, the contrast of the light green and white mixed with the richness of the purple is great (especially against my green leather letter caddy).
My new invention: the twelve dollar topiary! I took a light green hydrangea ($4), and stuck it in a simple square white ceramic vase ($8). Et voila!
Finally, tulips! Tulips can last forever, aren't terribly expensive, and are the one flower that I would choose to always sit on its own.
