Spring is busting out all at once

Have you ever seen a spring like this? The temperature warmed up so early and that seems to have encouraged all the flowering trees to accelerate their schedule. Layer in a few stretches of cold weather and TAD AH! Everything is blooming at once.

And it is glorious! I hope everyone takes some time to contemplate the beauty of Central New York.

If you want to enjoy the fragrance of spring, call and order a bouquet of lilacs. Our supply is limited so call soon.

Easter Flower Garden

Are you looking for something a bit different?

I've been potting up some great baskets of blooming plants. Vibrant primroses, tulips, miniature daffodils, hot pink azaleas and orange begonias. And you can plant them outdoors when they are done flowering.

The basket is 10 inches round and a nice neutral shade of sage green.

If you like softer colors, perhaps a basket of soft pink azaleas, sky blue hyacinths, Obonica primroses,
tulips and an African violet?

Both are available for $49.95

We can deliver these for the Easter Holiday. Just
give us a call.

Home Run

Snow Drops - Perce Neige

Today is the first day of spring - usually Syracuse celebrates with a major snow storm. But March 20th, 2010 is a HOME RUN. A sunny, warm and glorious end to a fine week.

We earned it. Emmanuel, thanks for the photo.

Wedding season has started and we are thankful to be so busy. Congratulation to Chandra and Jason. I'll bet they never expected to have outside photos! Of course, we will have photos at a later date.

But today it is all about Glorious Spring. I'm getting myself a bunch of red and yellow Parrott Tulips for the table and taking a walk in the back yard. Maybe the rabbits and deer missed a few of the bulbs I planted last fall...we'll see.

Go Orange.

Sunshine makes me Daffy

There are two things I like about March. Daffodils and Basketball. But it is not that simple. If Central New York is grey and snowy, I am not so compelled to crave billows of bright yellow. But, when the snow melts and the sun is shining, nothing satisfys like Daffys.

And when the Orangemen are in Madison Square Garden I know the Robins will be singing from the treetops.

But when SU is on a winning streak and I have a big bouquet of Daffodils on the coffee table...well, it's all GOOD.

Le Printemps est la?

The First Sign of Spring?

Isn't this a slice of modern life! And all this time I've been expecting Robins. My Friend Emmaunel Vaucher documents his everyday observations. But he is a native of France living amongst us and perhaps does not know that Robins are the first harbinger of the long awaited season.

We had fun and excitement yesterday when News 10 Now and Channel 3 WSTM came to film for Valentines Day. The Shop was a mad swirl of customers and news crews. Everyone had a great time with Megan Coleman the early morning Co-Anchor of WSTM. There were lots of surprised customers that morning!

I recognized reporter Cat DeMaria from News 10 Now right away. She and her camera man Ben convinced Colleen and Mary to design for the camera. And soon we were all at ease and the afternoon flew by.
