It's Valentine's Day next week so Titti and I thought we start early with some romantic inspiration on our - FLOWERS by ingrid and titti - themed blog posts.
Cooking or baking will always be a special thing to do for a loved person in your life. Or cooking with your family or friends - creating a dish each - it becomes a special occasion.
Roses can be expensive and sometimes 'less is more' - so just three red roses with a little bit of foliage in a white vintage jug - becomes the perfect simple flower arrangement.
Writing a special message on a little hand printed card is always nice and of course some chocolate - in the shape of red hearts!
The first arrangement was red - so I thought my second arrangement has to be pink - another romantic colour.
I used three different pink flowers - three tulips, three Ranunculus and one hyacinth - in a little sweet vase with pink hearts and I tied a ribbon around the top.
Below is a single Ranunculus in a mini bud vase and some more chocolate hearts - this time pink to match the flowers.
Here is a link to Titti's blog - HWIT BLOGG - so you can go over and have a look at what she has done.

Just lovely Ingrid! This is really Valentines Day...
Love Titti
These are wonderful ideas, for Valentine's Day, Ingrid, and you have presented each one so beautifully here.
xo.
Ingrid, it's delightful, to see how you and Titti show us gifts from your imaginative and knowledgeable talents, about how to have some beautiful Valentine's flowers.
I really appreciate your generosity in sharing all this expertise.
Ranunculus are such fabulous flowers...those dense layers of petals create a mix of saturated color with delicacy.
Perfect for Valentine's Day.
Many thanks. xo
Ooh I love the PINKS this time! Especially the picotee ranunculus, I've never seen those for sale here. The foliage around the rose is lovely, I sometimes find red roses overpowering but that makes it feel a bit more delicate!
Delicious arrangements!
Amazing post for the Valentine´S Day! Hugs from Portugal! Manuela
