After a snowy, windy and cold winter season, you wake up one morning and although there’s a little nip in the air, the sun is shining and as you look around at the green grass and flowers about to bloom, you have a feeling of ahh… It’s Spring!
You almost want to dance around the house and break out in song, Spring, Spring, Spring! A song from the wonderful musical and one of my favorites, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’. But I think most people prefer a quieter morning before the kids get up and sipping their coffee or tea and enjoying the spring morning. This is the time that one of the first flowers to bloom is the beautiful and radiant daffodil. This trumpet-shaped flower blooms with its yellow, white and orange glory. A symbol of new beginnings and hope is one of the most popular flowers of spring. Daffodils can carry their beauty all on their own, but you can enhance that beauty. Here I took a Murano glass bubble vase and glass rose bowls.
I filled the bottom with green glass beads and picked the daffodils from our garden. One of my go to flowers is Baby’s Breath, I love this flower either on its own or put together with other flowers and you can buy them at most grocery stores or flower shops. I also added carnations and a few faux green shamrocks. Yes, as simple as that and this was the result. Daffodil bouquets are wonderful gifts, table decorations, and centerpieces.
Although, this watercolor ‘Sunshine Bouquet’ by Carol Robinson is not Daffodils, I just love it. I have it upstairs in my house. It’s such a cheery piece of art and captures the total effect of the beauty of a simple flower arrangement
