Flowers, Flowers, Everywhere!

French tulips! it's a pity I don't have the proper vase for these, because they were originally three feet long with gorgeous stems and leaves. It was heartbreaking to have to cut them down to the length of regular tulips, plus it doesn't show them off very much.

Pink stargazers for my mom, to celebrate her birthday. She's ten times better at arranging flowers than I am, so I got her a huge armload instead of an arranged bouquet. I think there's enough here for her to get three or four vases full to put around the house. There are about twenty stems squished together here, and each stem has four or five flowers or buds.
