Those of  us that enjoy our gardens, especially in the U.S., are still anticipating the full glory of spring.  I thought I’d provide you with a little inspiration by sharing some pretty flower arrangements for you to enjoy.  Some are simple and some are elaborate, all are beautiful [i.m.h.o].

I’m not sure what kind of bulb this is but it’s pretty even before it blooms.

Spring’s bounty, flowering branches, pussy willow and some kind of seed pod.

And for my final floral contestant…possibly a wedding prop, dancing in one direction, dining in the other.  Either way, I love the rusty old bicycle used for the flowers.

Spring will be here (in the U.S.) any time now, in fact we’ve been teased with some warm days.  Wait for it, it will give us all a lift of spirits and a new level of energy.  ♥ Karen
