The theme for FLOWERS this time is 'Happy Valentine's Day!'
Well, maybe it should be called 'Pink'!
Florists are every year asked to put together bouquets with a dozen red roses - because traditionally we associate Valentine's Day with red roses. I think pink roses are just as romantic.
So here are twenty pink roses! Don't worry I didn't spend a fortune. They are from the supermarket - the kind wrapped in cellophane - and they have short stems.
The longer the stems are on roses the more expensive they are. So look for roses with short stems - unless you are doing an arrangement that requires long stems - stick with the short ones for a lot less money.
This plant is called Kalanchoe - its a potted house plant with succulent leaves and this one has very pretty little double pink flowers.
Three roses of a different kind - just hanging in there. They have much softer petals and look a bit more like garden roses.
I managed to use the pink roses for three different projects - so it was money well spent. And I still had plenty for Valentine's Day!
Titti Malmberg - my Swedish based collaborator who I work alongside on FLOWERS - has also created a blog post over on her blog HWIT BLOGG - so please follow the link and go over and see what she has done.
We also have a special board over on Pinterest with images from FLOWERS.
Have a Very Happy Valentine's Day!
See you next week.
See you next week.
