wednesday favorites - tulips

With temperatures in the 70ies and 80ies during the last days I have spring on my mind. In my lunch break I enjoyed sitting in the sun wearing my sunglasses and no jacket. This kind of weather draws me outside and makes me want to be more active. With springtime finally here I am also starting to get obsessed with bringing spring into the house as well and what better way than to do it with flowers. One of my favorites are tulips. Recently I browsed Pinterest and found hundreds of images with tulips. Today I am sharing some of my favorites with you. Do you have a favorite flower that evokes the feeling of spring in you?

  1. Tulips are one of my favorites too, but I should really look into putting more effort in making the arrangements. My bouquets never look that nice. I also like many other bulb flowers on spring, like daffodils and grape hyacinths.

    1. I am not good at arranging flowers, always only put them in a vase without much effort. Love daffodils as well!

  2. Tulips are my absolute favourite flowers (my husband knows that no matter how angry I am with him, if he buys me tulips, I am a gonner)! London is finally having some double figure temps too!

    1. Ha, ha I trained my husband to bring home tulips as well. Who can stay mad after receiving a bouquet of tulips? I can't! :)

    1. Somehow we went from winter to summer and I have to admit I love feeling the warm sun in my face. I think going to Holland and visit a tulip field would make me really happy. Can't put my finger on it what makes me like tulips so much...

  4. I love tulips! One of my favorites. Did you know, if you put some pennies into the vase, they will longer stay straight.

  6. Tulips are my absolute favorite for this time of year! It doesn't hurt that Trader Joes sells bouquets of them for $4 or $5! I love how delicate they are but also how angular and sharp they can look when they're still closed. My other favorites are more fluffy options like hydrangeas and peonies.

  8. Oh any flowers in general. And you're actually reminding me, I need to buy some flowers for my place, just to spruce things up. And then I need to share pictures of my apartment with y'all, as I promised three months ago!
