SPRING around the world brings charming bluebells, cherry blossoms daffodils, glory of the snow, snowdrops, crocuses, ranunculus, primrose, wisteria, and of course, the beautiful tulip!
We delight in all of their gorgeous varieties of blues, yellows, pinks and purples!!

We can create great impact when blooms are massed in a simple vase or adoring a simple, single bloom! They can be enjoyed in an entryway, bathroom, on a nightstand and are totally dramatic on a cocktail table ~ no matter where we live!
Certainly, many countries and locales are identified with specific flowers…the Dutch Tulip, Japanese Cherry Blossom, and Texas Bluebell. The world is one in enjoying their beauty whether we are in Holland, the US or UK!!
We all can enjoy wearing a favorite, delicate floral scent … on our bodies, or at home….as with the romantic Wild Bluebell Collection of cologne, hand cream, body crème or mist, diffuser, and candle from Jo Malone London! JO MALONE LONDON Wild Bluebell (Macy's)
Even the pussy willow appears in Spring – so fabulous when brought indoors for our modern interiors! They become architectural in vases!
Ready to Wear and Home Designers are also in love with Spring’s luscious blooms!!

Happy Springtime, Marlene! Lovely post, as always. One point I’d like to make. As a born-and-bred Texan, our state flower is the bluebonnet, not bluebell. Wish you could drive through our state and view the bluebonnet showing itself off everywhere. From interstate highways to country roads, they reign supreme this time of year! Fields, clusters, singles, the bluebonnet is a delight to the eyes!
Thank you Sylvia – appreciate your Bluebonnet delightful state flower info – much appreciated. Sister blooms for sure!! Happy 1st Week of Spring!! xoxo MMK
