I remember my Mama saying “shower me with flowers while I’m alive” and this is the most sensible thing I’ve ever heard! I don’t think anyone retains their five senses lying six feet under. Flowers are a must in my life and my next Magical March favorite things.

I know Spring is in the air when I look out my windows and see the mounds of daffodils smiling in the back forest.

I planted the bulbs years ago and every year they produce more and more blossoms of yellow joy! We have deer in the forest and they eat up everything in sight but for some reason they don’t touch the daffodils. They must not be as sweet as they look waving in the March winds.

I love everything about flowers and I love fresh flowers even more. There’s something to be said about nature that cannot be duplicated. I guess that’s why fresh flowers tend to come at a premium price but I’m not paying premium prices for my fresh flower fix! No mam and sir, I hightail it to Trader Joe’s when the deer have their way with my garden.

I treat myself to fresh flowers every 8 to 10 days and with minimal care they last until the next bouquet. Since it’s my birthday month, I splurged and purchased four bouquets when I normally only grab two.

I also wanted tulips and they cost a little more but for $22.00 I made eight bouquets of love, enough for me to flower my entire home. That’s $2.75 for each bouquet. I even know this is a bargain and I need “Math for Dummies!” Aren’t they beautiful!

  • How to prolong the life of your flowers
    Remove all leaves that might have a tendency to come in contact with the water.
    • Cut the stems at an angle under running water.
    • Fill your vases with fresh cool water.
    • Sprinkle some of the plant food in the water.
    • Arrange the flowers to your satisfaction making sure to have different lengths to create a cascading effect.
