My entire extended family loves flowers. They all know that I love to have fresh flowers on the tables or the island in the kitchen when they come to visit. This year they brought pots and pots of flowers with them.
We have four of the largest Easter lilies I've ever seen. Mother and I bought two of them, and then we lost our minds and bought a golden yellow petite lily, a fuchsia azalea, a tiny pot of something called "Get Mee," which is a form of campanula, and two new orchids.
My oldest sister sent us the most beautiful cut flower basket that I've ever seen. My second sister brought us a wonderful, bright, pot of yellow tulips.
And, I have a 15 inch cobalt blue vase that is filled with fuchsia carnations, purple, lavender, pink and white chrysanthemums, eucalyptus, and heather.
We have blooms everywhere! It's a joy to have the house filled with flowers at a time when flowers are sparse outside. We're supposed to have warmer weather this week, so we should see plants beginning to bud, soon. I noticed that our new little red bud tree is beginning to purple up. YEA!!!

I'm jealous, can't remember the last time I got flowers, fresh cut are my favorite as well. The smell of a hyacinth is a favorite as well. I have some bulbs still in Denver that will probably stay there. Little Billy and company would be snacking on them for sure.
