When I was little, I never understood why my mother felt the need to peruse the floral section at the grocery store. I didn't get how having a fresh flower arrangement in the home made her so happy. Ah, how times have changed. I started noticing florals more after my wedding. I guess looking at thousands of photos of incredible centerpieces during the planning process will do that to you. Soon enough, I started looking at EVERY bouquet at the supermarket as a potential arrangement.
Then, a few months ago, peonies were in season and my local Trader Joe's was selling bunches and bunches of them for next to nothing. I finally caved into the obsession and ever since, my husband has been buying me bouquets every Sunday so we can have a beautiful arrangement of fresh flowers to last us the week. I just thought I'd share a few of my favorites:
 |
| Aren't Hydrangeas the loveliest? These are sitting in my kitchen as we speak. |
 |
| A sweet, peachy rose blossom from my mother-in-law's garden. |
 |
| Peonies, more roses from MIL's garden, a colorful assorted medley. |
 |
| Elegant Callas. |
Fresh flowers just bring me cheer when I look at them. Happy Labor Day! :D
I've just gotten into flowers recently too - for some reason I always thought they were really expensive but then someone gave me a pot plant for my b'day, I managed not to kill it for over two months and I decided to buy some more and my obsession spiralled from there. My current favourites are lillies and orchids. I love your peachy rose, it's really beautiful.
