Fresh Flowers

One of life's little pleasures is buying fresh flowers. I currently have 2 bunches of two-toned tulips on display in my humble abode, fresh from the tulip festival. I couldn't resist buying just one bunch, so I splurged and bought 3, one vase for the kitchen, one vase for the living room, and one for my mom who I had brunch with on Sunday.

Ranauculus are one of my most favorite flowers, among my other top faves, peonies, gardenias, and sunflowers. While I wouldn't turn down a dozen red roses, I find I like the "just picked from the garden" look a little more.

What are your fave flowers?

  2. Peonies! I wish they were more affordable though :-( I like do ranunculus too. I have carnations in mason jars and sake bottles around the apartment now because I was being cheap ... but I think I'm getting ranunculus next!

  3. Ranuncs are definitely one of my favorites. Dahlias make me very happy too. I love peonies, but can't stomach the price very often.

  4. Just bought orange ranunculus last night at Trader Joe's so they are my favorite today. Seems to change everyday!
