Irish Spring!

Fresh flowers in the foyer to welcome the holiday and Spring!

Hydrangeas, mums and a few specimens that I don't know their names!

I usually buy one type of flower in one color, by the bunch, but sometimes a little splurge by the stem is so much fun!
The florist told me these soft green mounded stems are in the mum family and they'll last 2 weeks!
 And, they remind me of a grassy knoll, so I could I resist?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

    Just a beautiful piece of work there! I love it and it just right for Spring and St. Paddy's Day. I have to tell you when I read Irish Spring the first thing I thought of was the fresh, clean, bracing smell of that soap! xo Diana

    Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too Rebecca. I had some of those flowers at Christmas time and they lasted nearly four weeks!

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Beautiful!! A simply lovely arrangement - and SO much better than the ubiquitous dyed carnations!!

    Hope that you did indeed have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. Beautiful flowers - I love to use flowers in the same colour palette too, but I do admire people who can create a fabulous mix of colours that still looks chic and elegant. Lovely blog by the way!

    Also looks like you have some green Trachelium and Lily Grass in that arrangement.
