Well then here's a little pretty (courtesy of my wedding bouquet)...
Don't flowers have a way of bringing happy into a room? The one thing I hate about being in the midst of a renovation is the lack of houseplants and indoor blossoming bits.
Do you keep fresh flowers or growing things around your house?

Thanks for the pretty! What a beautiful bouquet! I do love to have plants and fresh flowers around the house. Lately, I have been on an air plant kick, though I haven't bought any yet. Do you have any air plants?
Awww thanks.
I love keeping live houseplants and flowering plants. But as for flowers themselves, I always feel like it's a waste of money. You know, because they just die and get thrown out. I can't help it. I'm too frugal. But I do like snipping some of the ones that grow outside to put in a vase. I like the flowers themselves. Just not paying for them. :)
Aww. How pretty. :)
I seem to have a real knack for killing plants, try as I might to keep them alive. So the only real live green thing in the whole house is currently one bamboo sprig. Amazingly, I've managed to keep it alive for 4 years now, not for lack of trying, of course. It's currently trying to recooperate from getting burned by the sun a month ago... oops!
Join the club, Chelsea! But it doesn't stop me from trying goshdarnit. See here: http://tearinguphouses.blogspot.com/2009/09/trellis-watch-week-1.html
Yes, every room needs a little green or even better some fresh flowers! Janell
Agreed, Janell! I miss my house plants!
If I was rich, I'd always have fresh flowers in the house. I have 3 potted plants, but I suck at keeping them alive. My husband seems to have a talent for reviving them, so I put him in charge of caring for them!
Don't forget, Kermie, that Home Depot and Walmart allow you to return your plants if they die within the 1st year (most nurseries will, as well)! Just keep your receipt.
Closed roses are one of my favourite flowers. I'm a terrible black thumb when it comes to growing things but if I'm home for the weekend, I tend to spring the £2 - £3 it is for a bunch of flowers from the local flower stall lady. Money well spent for the cheeriness it brings, especially in winter.
It has definitely been gloomy here too, but the sun finally showed up today. Very beautiful flowers!
I really need to buy a houseplant. The only flowers we have around here are fake ones!
