I love this color combo. This week, you will receive teal eucalyptus, peach Cumbia roses, peach gladiolus (glads as the Boston Flower Exchange call them!), and pale yellow-peach hypernicum berries. Oh, you’ll also find a few daffodil blooms! A true mark of the coming spring!
I hope you get inspired with the pin board I made and your bloomies this week. I hope it inspires you to take photos, smell the roses, crochet, put eucalyptus in a bowl for the bathroom, draw, paint, sing, go for a walk hike, something new.
I read this quote somewhere last week and I definitely don’t remember it by heart, but it more or less was about taking things in our everyday life for granted. Don’t forget to take the time to study the incredible colors, shapes, texture and so forth with your blooms.
Happy Fat Tuesday!

I was perusing Tory Burch’s blog, I’m obsessed at how colorful it is, and want to share these feng shui tips. Number 1, Place fresh flowers around your home — they symbolize new life and new beginnings. Of course. With your gold spray roses, cherry brandy roses, tall purple liatris, yellowish greens, and yellow crespedia balls that we delivered to you this week, we hope that you will feel inspired to take out 5 to 10 vases, cups, and spread these blooms all over your place.

Do you need color therapy? I love this article where Dr. Sam explains the benefits of color. She talks a lot about the color red, which is a very important color for this week. During the Chinese New Year, it is a custom to wear the color red, decorate with red paper, and hand out money in little red envelopes.
Enjoy this spring like day, and if you get the option to choose red or gray today…choose red! The rest of your flowers this week include vendetta roses, forsythia, and white mums.
More tulip inspiration…
I also loved these images of the Chinese New Year and the color red. Your color therapy for today.

This vibrant, beautifully textured flower is known all over the world. People in Mexico know this flower as “Velvet flower” because of it’s texture. It’s interesting shape within reminds me of tiny little mazes. Countries like India and Africa use the celosia leaves as food. It’s even been nicknamed soko yokoto in Nigeria which means”make husbands happy and fat.” I bet it tastes good and tastes a little something like kale?
We love to use this flower when we hear the words bold, fun, and funky. The heads are strong and the stems not so much, so either cut this bloom short or leave it tall in a skinny vase.

It’s OK if you’re not into having a real tree or wreath in your house, but you should always have some fresh pine in your house during the holidays. It smells so great and looks exceptional in arrangements.
Your flowers this week are carnation pods, purple tulips, pine, and cool water roses.
These are carnation pods. I love them because they look like little artichokes/pinecones and because sometimes it makes me sad when people say “NO carnations” all the time. We wan’t to show you that they aren’t so bad after all!
What to do? What to do with the flowers we sent you? What a minute! I know! How about something like this?
These flowers have are not in water (of course), but it’s a cute idea if you’re inviting buds over for a holiday get together this weekend. Just remember to put them in water when they leave!
I found above and below from Pinterest. You can make these little wreaths at home with the pine we gave you. Just wire the pine springs end to end. I hope this will inspire you!
Don’t fret that there isn’t any snow, yet. Make your own winter magic. I love the idea of hanging fresh flowers to decorate for the holidays. These are upside down light bulbs that would look groovy with ANY of the blooms we delivered to ya! Enjoy your blooms and good night!

This week we delivered you
blue delphiniums and kale
and creme de la creme roses and bronze spider mums
in your Blooms to Doors boxes.
We give them to you in a recyclable box
but do you ever put them on books?
Or in a tin can next to olives?
Or next to lumps of sugar? How about taking out twenty vases,
and only using six?
Your blooms can light up a dark place,
or fill up a high place. It’s up to you. We hope you enjoy your blooms this week!

Blooms to Doors flowers have a lot in common with things you like!
Blush pink tuberose flowers and the legendary triangular Toblerone Swiss chocolate and almond nougat in an ice cream cake. I’d keep the tuberose tall in a wine glass for the kitchen table.
Silver brunia and this silver african elephant necklace. Cut them all short for full bud vase pieces for your bathroom.
Hot pink pizzaz roses and a pizzaz breakfast. Leave them all tall in a medium vase. These roses want to run wild.
Ti leaves and T.I. leaves us waiting in soft peach tones. Wrap them around the bottom of your vase of the pizzaz roses. I love that look.

This week, we have echinacea pods, orange button mums, solidaster, crocosmia, chabilis roses, and tall grasses all in autumnal shades of orange. We hope you enjoy them and become inspired with the arrangements below.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been drinking echinacea tea lately to rid of this cold that’s creeping up on me. I love that they are good for our bodies and look beautiful in a vase. We found it fitting to put them in your delivery this week as the temperature goes from cold to hot to cold each day. So if you start to feel under the weather, let these echinacea pods remind you it’s time to drink echinacea tea.
Orange crocosmia below…
Most people don’t carve mini pumpkins, but they look great used as place settings with a few mums popped in the center.
With acorns…
