Sunday Lilacs

Yesterday was such a gorgeous Sunday...perfect for Farmer's Market flower shopping! I love that every week there's an abundance of fresh blooms, at reasonable prices, making it easier to enjoy a bouquet more often. I was so excited when I remembered that it's Lilac season!



They only bloom once a year, but it's SO worth the wait. These delicate, tiny flowers produce the most amazing fragrance! ( which I think, is what this sign is trying to say...hahaha)


There were also a variety of mixed flowers, beautiful orchids, and some potted plants and rose trees.





Here are my lilacs after I clipped them down, pounded the stems with a hammer (so they'll drink water), and arranged them in a vase for my bedside table.



Don't you just love Spring?!

  4. Lovely flowers! I probably should get more flowers, the ones I bought two weeks ago are long gone.

  5. I totally agree with you -- I love Spring and lilacs! Actually, I love any flower (especially if its aroma is as pretty as it looks!) What a great way to spend your Sunday.
    Great blog!
