Flowers of the Week: Fresh to Death

One of my resolutions this year was to use more flowers from my own garden for my inside bouquets. So the other night just before rain and wind were about to blow in, I went outside to rescue some of my lovely, delicate, daffodils. I'm so glad I did because they have been brightening up my kitchen table ever since. They look perfect bundled up in my 'Fresh' vase from Esty seller Clayswan - her stuff is adorable (great for presents).

I just love daffodils. It's amazing how accurate they are in their bloom time. For example, here is a post from last year and the same bulbs bloomed on almost the same day as last year. I am going to have to keep and more accurate record! Nature never ceases to amaze me.

    Oh my gosh, I love it. I do the same thing as often as I can. I love having fresh cut flowers around, and try to arrange as many as I can from my garden in the summer and spring. The daffodils are so beautiful.
