lush and lovely!

With spring in full swing everyone is in a green mood, including A Sea of Bloom.
This week we just got in boxes and boxes of gorgeous plants to fill up your home...
Orchids, cacti, succulents, ferns, flowering begonias...Oh! it's all so lovely!!
 In some places it looks like the Southwest...
In other spots it's like a luscious jungle...
Look at these miniature orchids in little clay pots...so cute!!
...keeping company with a few of the bigger ones...
 Have you ever heard of Tillandsia?
You might know them from their common name of air plants.
These are a type of species of epiphytes.
They are plants that generally don't need soil.
They are not parasitic and only rely on their hosts for support so you can basically
put them ANYWHERE there is warmth and bright light!
They absorb nutrients in the air and water through their leaves.
We've been playing with them and making all kinds of pretty and fun things with them...
 Perfect in these hanging glass terrariums...
 All you need to do is mist them once or twice a week...
There's so many different kinds that you just HAVE to come in and have a look!
Some of them are just beginning to flower too.
If you need something funky AND useful we've made these beautiful
arrangements in a large mug (comes in a pretty gift box too).
Maybe someone in your workplace deserves one!
Again, lot's of designs to choose from...
How about something for the 'lady' of the house? heh, heh, heh...
A perfect little hostess gift indeed!
And as always...big, bright, beautiful bouquets...
Thanks for stopping by our blog but you know, it would be even nicer to see you in person!!
By the way, we're open Sundays now as well.
Help your community thrive...shop local!
