sahara roses

martha — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 17:09:57 +0000

Like most, I’ve caught the Pinterest bug. Below are photos of inspiration for your roses. I love taking detail shots of the flowers that we offer you with ideas for arranging them tall and small, but I also love the different backgrounds available through Pinterest. Below are lovely ideas to arrange the sahara roses in your boxes. Use the eucalyptus, berries, and astrantia for as accents to your rose arrangements.

yay! white anemones

martha — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:04:50 +0000

Now say it with me…aaaa-NE-moneys. Yes, it’s a tricky flower to say, not as tricky as ranunculus, but still tricky. We hope that you enjoy this beautiful, beautiful bud in your boxes this week.

The rest of the blooms in your delivery are Beauty by Ogre roses, pink delphiniums and green mums.

All of the green mums have about five or more buds on each stem. If I were you, I’ll cut all of these blooms short and place them all over your place. I’d use mason jars, bud vases, shot glasses (I’ve done this), tea tins, jelly jars, fill them with mums, a little water, a little flower food and place them everywhere.

For the delphiniums…use a empty wine glass or skinny vase and let them stand tall and wild. You can place the anemones at the bottom of this arrangement, or arrange them in a medium vase all their own. I hope you have fun with your flowers this week.

teal and peach

martha — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:31:39 +0000

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!

feng shui tips

martha — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:01:31 +0000

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.

color therapy

martha — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 19:37:07 +0000

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.

feature flower: celosia

martha — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:15:22 +0000

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.
