The first and obvious choice are Roses.  They have the biggest color palette of all flowers and you can score these babies all year around. As the climate gets warmer the Roses get growing!  So Spring Time = more Roses!!!

Another lovely flower are Tulips but hurry quick because when Summer hits the prices for these will go up!

Here is a cute bouquet of Daisies and Tulips.

 Next we have the bright, fresh, and simply delightful Daffodil.  This flower has spring time written all over it!

Next we have Anemones.   They have a large bright bloom. Perfect for bringing outdoor nature indoors!

Whatever you decide, make sure you choose a floral arrangement that represents you and your theme! If you are bold and outgoing, go for those bright bouquets. If you’re more romantic, check out the pink Roses and add tons of Babies’ Breadth. Just be sure you check the growth season so that you are not disappointed if a flower isn’t available or costs a fortune! If you are planning on making your own floral arrangements, check out the wholesale florists or the Farmer’s Market in your area for bargains.
