These photos and a very nice story from Raedia came to my inbox this past week...
We're sending a shout-out to all of you who bring home flowers to brighten up your home. Do YOU have some Sat. morning flowers to share? Let me know! You can drop a line with a small description and some pics at matt at apartment therapy dot com

"Every Friday night, my husband's parents come over for dinner and a movie, and my mother-in-law always brings an amazing bouquet from her own garden to share with us. I look forward to it all week! This one features two stunning peonies: 'Nippon Beauty' (which I just planted in my own garden) and 'Sarah Berhnardt.'"
Such beautiful peonies - and a very nice tradition!
And Maria in Silverlake, LA sent in the anemones and sweet peas above:
"I buy my flowers at the silverlake farmers market on Saturday mornings. These are from a few weeks ago but they're so beautiful I wanted to submit them to you. Thanks!"
It's fun to see what others get at their markets and consider local - were there any anemones at the market here in NYC?

I'm temporarily living in France and cut flowers are super-cheap here. I'm able to bring fresh flowers into the apartment that I could never afford back home. It has really brightened up my year!

I've planted a variety of easy to maintain flowers in attractive pots on my apartment balcony. Nasturtiums have been planted from seeds and mixed in the same pot with purple verbena. It is lovely -- the purple and orange and yellow flowers complement one another, and attract beautiful hummingbirds.

The anemones are beautiful--I've also been buying flowers every Saturday morning as well from our greenmarket here in Greepoint, Brooklyn. I love that it's sweet pea time here as well!
