I love having fresh flowers in the house. Tulips are definitely among my favorites. There is just something cheerful about their bright colors and delicate petals. A bouquet of freshly blooming assorted tulips reminds me of a colorful sunrise… so joyful.
ProFlowers sent me a bouquet of 30 Rainbow Tulips. They arrived in bulb form, simply meaning they were completely closed, and they “bloomed” right before our eyes within several hours of placing them in a vase full of fresh water. So vibrant were the colors in this assortment that a smile was inevitable every time I looked at them.
You can see my bouquet in my Easter Basket post… I chose to use the image here in this post directly from the ProFlowers site, simply because it was taken during the day, where mine was taken at night. Mine were just as bright and vibrant as those pictured here, though, promise!
These beautiful tulips lasted an entire week, but would have lasted longer had my precocious three-year old not decided to play “I love you. I love you not.” with them all. I was so sad that my entire bouquet was petal-less that Julia called her daddy and asked him to bring home some new ones for me. It was a sweet gesture, but this new bouquet didn’t quite compare to the bouquet from ProFlowers. (Thank you, though, honey!)

I love the daisy. They are just simple and brite. That’s why I love them.
My favorite flower is probably gladiolus because they remind me of my mother (she loves them). Thank you both!
My favorite flower is the yellow rose. We had a yellow rose bush on the front porch of my childhood home and the last year of my dad’s life he would sit in front of the window and look out at those roses. It brought him much joy and now they always remind me of him.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love Gerber Daisies! They bloom in so many bold colors and the simplicity of the flower makes me feel calm. When there’s a Gerber Daisy in my house, it makes me want to tidy up and display them everywhere!!

I love roses because they are so special. So many flowers are easy to grow in my garden, but the roses are always ruined by the japanese beetles. So I always love to receive roses

it’s been 12 years since we lost my dad, and i still think of him every time i see a lily, as he was the master of growing them!
I love daisies. I have tons in my yard and they always make me smile when I see them!

I’m going to cheat and say that I love a mix of roses and sunflowers in a bouquet. The combination of the two brings the idea of perfect love to me: roses for the romantic side of love, sunflowers for the equally important friendship side.
My favorite flowers are orchids. My mom has a lot of different orchids and my former boss and his wife (I adore them both and miss them!) had an extensive orchid collection, too, and at all the dinner parties, we’d talk orchids.
My favorite flowers are red rose buds because they are beautiful, and are sweet-smelling. They bring me joy because I carried them in my wedding 34 years ago!
Hyacinth because it is so sweet and reminds me of when I was about 5. I got a bunny vase with a hyacinth in it and have loved them ever since.

Lillies are my favorite because they are fragrant and unique.
Every little girl is a scented bud waiting to blossom into a colored rose. Pink roses are cute women, Red roses are strong women, White roses are sweet women, Yellow roses are creative women…all roses are beautiful, so all women are beautiful.
Lilacs, I love the fragrant. Just wish they lasted longer!
