My mother (the florist) recently sent me home with this. Apparently every Monday they go through their flowers from the following week and throw out quite a bit of it to replenish with new flowers for the week. And I obviously have been unaware of this. Free flowers, yes please. There is something about fresh flowers that add so much life and color to a room. You can never go wrong. Except for if you let them die and leave them out still. Dead flowers in a pretty vase are very wrong. I used to think growing up that I didn’t care for flowers much because I grew up always being around them. I have proven myself wrong. I think I appreciate them even more. Thanks Mom!What is your favorite flower? I like daisies and hydrangeas.
I just love those huge red flowers used in landscaping that I can never remember the name of, and I'm in love with bells of Ireland (I think that is what it's called) for greenery. I delivered for a florist, and he does amazing work; it's hard to say what your favorite is when everything is so gorgeous! When I was a kid, I hated those orange lilies that were everywhere, now I love lilies, and they make me smile when I see them growing wild on the side of a road. Yeah, I love flowers, too!
Great post Ashley! Given that we're a new york city florist shop it would be too hard for us to just pic one type of flower :D
"Dead flowers in a pretty Vase are very wrong." That's sooo true...nothing more important than maintaining fresh flower care!!
Anyways, thanks for sharing. These are some lovely flowers and great photography.

ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flowers are gerbera daisies, tulips and startgazer lillies (except that they smell really strong).
Beautiful! I just love flowers too. I think my favorites are hydrangeas and lilacs. But I really love them all.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a lucky lady! I love fresh flowers, but I'm not willing to spend money on them. ;) I like roses and peonies. :)

ReplyDeleteYour new camera is behaving quite nicely by displaying those beautiful flowers to their fullest potential.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas & Lily of the Valley
I would agree, fresh flowers add so much life to a room!
ReplyDeleteDaisies were my childhood flower, the original white and yellow. Now I feel like Hydrangeas are my grown up flower! Funny!
