This week's photos were sent in by Monica who describes her flower taste as, "Nothing fancy, as I really like it quite simple". Without a lot of fuss Monica brings flowers into her home, simply, sometimes even digging a few bulbs from outside...
I am 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 me a line and some pics at matt at apartment therapy dot com
"I always try to bring flowers home for the weekend, and if I'm too busy to pick up flowers at the store I'll cut some fresh from my garden, or dig up some soon to flower bulbs.
This weekend I dug up a couple of Crocus Snowbunting from my garden, and I think it turned out even cuter than a store bought boquet :-)"
We agree - thanks for sharing!

Are those onion bulbs in the pot behind the star fish? I love the look.
They seem narcissi 'tete-à-tete'.
2 questions
1) does it still count if instead of buying cut flowers, i choose to buy an indoor plant? some of those can get pricey and i was never much of a flower girl.
2) i LOVE the look of forced bulbs in a home, especially when they first spout. i did paper whites last winter & i was wondering, can you force any bulb for indoors or are there limits?
Ohh thanks for showing my flowers! :-) What a thrill to see my pictures on my favorite blog! :-)
If you like my flowers you could also take a look at my latest posy of Hepatica nobilis on my blog; mandco.typepad.com ;-)
Jonnydesigner : The bulbs in the pot behind the starfish is, as pantzini guessed, narcissi "tete-a-tete" :-)
Mariegael: Some bulbs needs frost to bloom. I keep them out in the garden, and when they start to appear I dig them up and plant them inside ;-) Martha has an excellent article on forcing bulbs : http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=7b5ab8d7b242f010VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&autonomy_kw=forcing%20bulbs&rsc=header_1
There is something kind of exotic about Lily-of-the-valley, no matter how simply displayed. That first pic in the teacup makes me very happy, although I love them all.
The first pic is a snowdrop, no?
