The Sights & Scents of Spring

Spring is definitely showing signs of it's arrival. But, before we can enjoy the ability to flit around in flirty shoes and wear amazing white bottoms, we have to endure what remains of the white blanket that once covered our streets - BROWN COLOURLESS GRIT!

Yet, while I look at all the colorless surroundings of Edmonton, I think of all the amazing scents and sights of Spring blooms that we will soon be in the midst of. The fluorescence of the new buds and grass has to be one of my most favourite parts of the season.

With the onset of Spring, we see such amazing blooms, most of which I do not see often in our local gardens. But, fear not, they are accessible to brighten up your home and bring in the fresh light scent of the season. As we know, our neighboring province to the west, luckily, has a milder climate than us and can supply locally grown fresh product to remind us of springs' arrival - as early as December. Yup you heard it....tulips are available the same time we're draping cedar garland outside our homes.

So, if you are in the need of brightening up your surroundings....if you need something more than BROWN in your life....talk to us, or if not in the Edmonton area, your local florist. We can get you all the spring blooms to brighten up your home and office.

Here are some ideas for great scents and sights of Spring:

Peonies
Tulips
Freesia - very sweet scent
Anemone
Ranunculus
Daffodils
Iris - did you know you can get these in yellow?

Ask for an assortment in a nice European twist for your table, or throw a mono-floral loose bouquet in a vase. Whatever you choose, these delicate blooms of the season are a great and inexpensive way to bring you out of the sunless winter funk!

Happy Spring!
