Did you know it's possible to force dormant flower buds into blooming indoors in early spring?

Yes, it's possible indoors -- even when it's still dreary and cold outside. It's a great way to bring that spring feeling inside -- early!

Lilacs in Bloom

June 9, 2014

We had huge lilac bushes in the back yard when I was growing up.  I remember their strong fragrance and how I loved to cut the flowers and bring them inside. I even remember bringing them to school for my teachers.

We now have huge lilac bushes on our property today, and I still love their fragrance and delicate blooms from spring into early summer.

They seem to go well with one of my ironstone soup tureens. 

What do you think?

I played with some Picmonkey effects because my iPhone is not taking very good pictures since the iOS7 update.


Is there a flower that you associate with your childhood?



Lilac bushes are actually from the olive family, and they attract butterflies which I absolutely love about them.



 What are your favorite fresh cut flowers?
 
Well, that's it for today, friends!
