A Bouquet for Your Mother On Her Special Day
Spring Fling w/ Balloons & Bear - JustFlowers.com

It is countdown time to Mother’s Day. One of the most special gifts you can give your mother

is a beautiful bouquet. It really does not require you to spend a fortune in order to earn

that big smile on her face. You can order a less expensive bouquet, if you are on a tight

budget; or, you can go all-out you can afford to be more elaborate. A bouquet is a great way

to express not only your thoughts but also your feelings. It is a way of saying, “I love

you.”

You have a wide-range of flowers from which to select. You might want to send your mom a

special bouquet of her favorite flowers. Or, another nice bouquet is to send a mixture of

colors. April 9 is Mother’s Day so it is time to start thinking about the type of bouquet you

want to order for your mom.

Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year for florists. In order to make certain you have

the type flowers you want to order for the bouquet then planning ahead is important. The

great thing about our era is that flowers can be sent from anywhere in the world. If you

happen to be on vacation then you can still send your mother a special bouquet by ordering

from a florist who offers this service. Too, so many men and women are stationed overseas,

serving our country, they, too, can send a bouquet to make their mom’s day even

extra-special.

The key is to plan the type of bouquet you want for your mother and order it. You will make

her day!

Flowers and jewelry are always great ideas. Sending your mother a bouquet of her favorite

flowers with a well written and thoughtful note can brighten her day. No matter what your

budget, there are bouquets available that will fit in it. Sending a fruit arrangement or

having her favorite cookies delivered are unique ways to make her feel loved.
There are many options for getting quality jewelry at any price. Many boutiques and stores

offer engraving at a low cost. Having a meaningful phrase, date or word inscribed on a

bracelet or necklace can ensure that it will quickly become one of your mothers prized

possessions.
Pictures are always a nice gift to send your mother. Framing a picture of you and your family

for her to display is a wonderful idea. There are many easy to use websites that offer photo

albums or calendars that make wonderful gift ideas as well.

Choosing Mother’s Day Flowers

Knowing what type of flowers your Mother enjoys is always helpful when choosing to send her

flowers. Sometimes you might just not know what flowers she likes. It could also be possible

you don’t want to send her the same flowers every year.

Choosing a pre-made arrangement is always simplest. Usually a florist will give you an idea

of the meaning behind the flowers. Many cultures have placed specific meanings on different

flowers. A good example of this is the association of a red rose with a lover. Be sure to

write a note to your Mother about why you chose this specific arrangement and the meaning

behind the flowers you chose.

Knowing her favorite colors is also a great way to choose an arrangement. While florists can

make arrangements of many different flowers based on a certain color sometimes pre-designed

arrangements will contain some great colors your Mother is sure to love.

If your mother is like mine she really enjoys flowers. Some years I buy her a subscription to

a flower of the month club. In these types of clubs recipients will receive a new flower

arrangement each month based around the season or a certain flower type. If you can afford it

this is a wonderful way to show your mother you love her all year round.

Your mother bound to love any arrangement you choose for her because it shows you love and

care for her. Adding a personal message to your bouquet will turn a great arrangement into a

meaningful bouquet.

Scarlet Runner Beans – The Best of Both Worlds!

The Scarlet Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus) is the best of both worlds, being both an edible and an ornamental!
The attractive red flowers last throughout the growing season and are favoured by Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Bees alike!
.
This lovely heirloom will climb vigourously on poles, fences, trellis’, or any support it’s given.
If enough of them are planted, they’ll actually make a nice visual screen on the deck, patio or really, anywhere in the garden.
They prefer full sun, and I’ve found, despite what other’s say, they take the heat of summer very well.
.
I’m currently growing the regular red Scarlet Runner variety, as well as the “Painted Lady”, which is a red and white bi-colour. Pictures to follow…
.
Admittedly, I’ve never eaten them since I always save the seeds for sowing & planting next year, however, here’s a link to a site with a recipe and cooking instructions for those who might be interested.

More Friday Flowers – Morning Sun on Hollyhocks

Well, it’s August tomorrow, (which makes me a little sad because that means next month is September with Autumn soon to follow. Leave it to me to point out the obvious).
———————–
Anyways, the Hollyhocks will soon be finished for another year, so I just wanted to share one last photo before the blooms are all spent. I’m sure I didn’t actually capture the remarkable effect of the morning sun coming through the petals.
A garden sure is more effective in person.
———-
Hoping to collect a lot of the seeds, some of which I’ll plant back in the garden, and some, (if anyone is interested), I’ll be eventually listing on my Etsy site.
——————–
These beautiful flowers have given me such pleasure everytime I go outside and see them, which is often! I’m a grateful gardener.
