This is harder than you might think! 3 years ago
Especially in the winter! Mostly though it is only hard because i make it that way (damn ocd)
I like White Flowers.. ok i like other colors too..but somehow white ones seem right in the city… clean and cool… sooo
not JUST any white flowers…uuumm…no
not that easy… cause i dont like: mums, daisys, carnations…
nope.. its gotta be:
  1. Peonies – my very very very fave…sometimes the all white ones ..sometimes the ones with the shock of hot pink centers.. called bleeding hearts…but they are only available for a short time in the spring
  2. Roses (not my fave but a good choice)
  3. Lilys … a few go a long way..so economical in winter
  4. Gerber Daisys..
    you know clean flowers..not really the “wild flowers” ..(i use them in the country)....so you see..i make it hard for myself… BUT…after trekking about whole foods, trader joes, safeway, looking for the perfect white flowers for the week.. i always feel better…..like im making the effort for myself.. and it is one of those little luxuries that i can do for me.. it reminds ME to take care of Me..
