Flowers

Fresh or faux, I love a home that has nice floral arrangements. Above is a picture of the lovely fresh orchids that mom brought home. Speaking of flowers..Target has amazing faux floral that I would love to buy, but I can't because I refuse to buy any decorations for my room until I clean up my mess of clothes that are everywhere. My favorite is the red rose faux floral collection because I LOVE roses.



Calla Lily Floral Potted Plant
The gel inside the vase feels cool..and it's one of the reasons why I would like to buy this. But the real reason is because it looks simple and elegant.


Bamboo Glass Cylinder Stand
I used to be a huge fan of feng shui. For $279.99, maybe it would help bring spirituality and prosperity into my life.

The meaning of a flower



thanks to martha stewart, i can view the meaning of a flower from a short list. i love flowers, gardens, and nature in general. that i thank my mom for raising me in a home with a nice garden. unfortunately our gardens were demolished after a couple of years of moving in our current home. i tell everyone who visits my backyard this story because till this day i am still devastated about our loss. gardens are hard to maintain, and unwanted animals/reptiles live in them.

it would be nice if more people started randomly purchasing flowers as gifts. and to buy a flower with the appropriate meaning of the moment would make it even more special. my favorite flowers are tulips and roses, *hint hint*.
