Spring flowers to brighten every home

Winter is just about over and now is the time to start planning for the warmer months of the year. If you are not sure how to make the most of this time of year, you can always start with spring flowers. Whether you would like to treat yourself or a loved one, fresh blooms are the best way of welcoming the spring season. Here are some great ideas if you’re not sure which flowers to choose.

Tulips

Tulips are arguably the most popular of all spring flowers. They are the symbol of rebirth and they are available in a wide selection of colours. Make sure that you choose the brightest colours available for the best spring effect. If in doubt, a mixed bouquet is always a safe bet. Combine yellow, red, pink, purple and any other colours you can get your hands on. You don’t even need to add foliage when combining all these shades. The leaves on the upper parts of each stem will suffice.

Daffodils

Known and loved for their bright yellow colour, daffodils can be sent as cut spring flowers or potted plants. Either way, they are sure to add some spring spice to any room in your home. These plants are best displayed on their own. Not only for visual purposes but also because the cut stems secret a substance that proves toxic to other cut flowers and will shorten their vase life.

Roses

When in doubt, roses are always your safest choice. While they might not be specifically identified as spring flowers, they are a staple that florists around the world like to keep in stock. When choosing roses for spring, you should opt for pastel shades like light pink and purple. Add some baby’s breath and a touch of foliage for the perfect final result.

Mixed bouquets

When you don’t know what to choose, a mixed bouquet of spring flowers will always do the trick. These bouquet are fantastic because they include various colours and textures. Just close your eyes and imagine roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, asters and some foliage to bring it all together. Now imagine each type of flower in a different colour! The combination is absolutely sensational.

Potted plants

Shopping for spring flowers should never make you feel like you are limited to cut stems only. You can always opt for a new potted plant if you prefer. Plants are excellent because they will provide you with the same instant joy as cut flowers as well as long-term satisfaction as they bloom year after year. Just make sure that you choose a plant based on the conditions you are able to provide.
