Celosia Love

I recently developed a love for Celosia.  You know how I adore magenta and fuschia flowers, right? So it's no surprise that I've thoroughly enjoyed having a living plant in our home that brought that color in for awhile.

Anyhow, they died. I tossed 'em. But take a look at these pretties while they were here (a couple of months, totally worth a few bucks).

I bought these the weekend after Thanksgiving and loved them until they bit the dust.  Apparently Celosia is very finicky, especially inside.  It needs a LOT of natural light, and even re-potting can cause it to die.  (By the way, this is all Google talkin'... if I'm wrong please let me know!).  I put our little plant in the sunniest spot in our home and they hung around as long as possible.

Any experience with Celosia? What's your favorite indoor plant?  Or favorite way to bring color indoors?  Do you have difficulty with indoor plants?  Let me know! *I love your emails! But leave a comment and let everyone know about your ideas/thoughts/love!  

Pink Peonies

This is probably my favorite flower.  I really love light pink peonies, but I adore the fuschia ones.

This little bunch gave me happies for a solid week. 

Are you a peony fan? 

Flowers & Bedroom Paint Sneak Peek

Yellow tulips this week.  And a peek at the new bedroom paint color.

Hubs hasn't announced it, but I'm almost certain tulips are his favorite flower.  He buys them more than most.

Flower Series

Flowers can make such a difference in your home.  After talking about how I wished we had them more often, on our anniversary this year, Seth gifted me flowers every week.

Sometimes he'll skip a week, and some weeks he gets two arrangements. They give me the happies every time, and add so much color and texture in our home.   So I thought it might be nice to start a new series of flowers in our pad.

Here's the latest addition:

No arranging of these roses, I'll admit.  They're just as Seth left them. :)

Isn't it amazing what some flowers can do?
