Spring Break

Spring in Southeast Alaska is a little bit of everything- we still have snow on the ground, and it "Snains" -- but the alder and cottonwood have buds just ready to POP, and we've had several really sunny and warm days this month. We are all ready for clear ground and skies, and warmer weather. That middle picture IS a juvenile eagle just outside our shop last week in a snowstorm

Yellow is the hot color in the flower shop this week. Everybody wants a little sunshine and warmth. The sunflowers are glorious and huge and last very well-- and the Gerbera, even brighter! There is also a Leucodendron with yellowish green colored leaves and a red middle that looks like a pinecone. Because it's a true tropical (comes from the tropical band around the middle of the earth), it lasts a very long time, so is very good value.

I know that I feel better when I have flowers in my home-- and when I feel better, I can take better care of the folks around me-- partner, family, customers, friends. So part of my self-care this week is to take home some floral sunshine for the weekend.

Keep blooming, everybody.
