Calling all PINK Flower Lovers - Spring Flowers

Close-up photo of pink tulips just after a rain, taken at Keukenhof Gardens, Holland


Sometimes when your day is dark and dreary ( as it happens sometimes in January in Winter), it's nice to look at your Spring and Summer photos. It just makes you feel better, and the colour Pink is just so bright and perky. Just look at these Tulip beauties ...see that hint of green on their tips.

Here is the star-shaped Flower bed where the pink Tulips were planted. This is one of the many flower beds at Keukenhof Gardens.

Red Tulip fields in Holland, just outside Keukenhof Gardens

Red is just a darker version of Pink - just look at these rows of Red Tulips, these are fields in Holland where the Tulips are grown for Bulb production. When you are in the plane, and nearing Holland, these are the bright bands of colour you see from the sky. Bright stripes of Tulip blooms.

Pinks go well with Greys, and mauves, and whites and creams. You can have so much fun with pink. You can decorate with our faux dahlia blooms ( upper right of photo). Or bring Spring into your home with our lovely cutwork embroidered tablecover in an Iris pattern.  



There are 55 colours in Cottage Paint - this photo shows various jars of paint.


Even though Pink has a sort of  feminine flair, it has now become a mainstream colour, adding softness to a neutral colour scheme. #CottagePaint pinks are popular, there is French Lavender, Dragonblood, Raspberry, & Perfect Pink.

Pink Camellia bushes are beautiful...and filled with a profusion of Flowers in the Spring.

2 types of pink Garden peonies in vase from gardens at The Camellia


And last, but not least, Peony blooms from our Summer Garden - their smell is lovely, the blooms  only last a few days, however, just catching sight of a vase of fresh peonies makes a person happy. What do you have in your house that's Pink, share with us and leave a comment below!!

Spring forward, Tuliptime and The Camellia






 It's March ...and for most of us, the only thing that gets us through to Spring is thinking Spring, and looking at TULIPS!! Of course, Holland is the Tulip capital of the world. 





 We are all craving  green, I can almost smell the odour of a freshly cut lawn......sigh. 







Now is the time to banish Winter, and add Spring to your decor. A vase of curly Willow, with colourful easter eggs makes a great display. The willow will root right in your vase. 






Hyacinths and Muscari blooms. 








Treat yourself to White Lilac shea butter Hand lotion...new stock just arrived at our store , the Camellia.





Mr. Benji is awaiting the arrival of Spring ---  and garden tomatoes. 







And the rest of us are awaiting the start of Garden season.....Pansies from Paulusma's Greenhouses, Thunder Bay. And from De Bruins Greenhouses, Highway 61, Thunder bay. 





I'm sure you are looking forward to sitting outside...warm sunshine, birdies tweeting..

Easter & Spring Flowers, Thunder Bay, On




The trees and the buds are saying it's Spring in Thunder Bay, in spite of the recent snowfall. The Robins are running along the path to the shop, all puffed up, looking around for some bare ground to find some food.


It's Easter this week, time to think about what to decorate the dinner table with, and also what is your front door wearing? A Springy Wreath , made of Pussy willows would be nice. Order yours early, price is $39.99-$49.99. Need Flowers delivered? We have Spring bouquets of Parrot Tulips, & Ranunculus, and yes, we deliver.







Can't decide what to get? Come out to the store on Hacquoil Rd. and be Inspired!

Just like the yellow of these newly hatched chicks at Dan's Feed Barn, in Superior, Wisconsin. So warm and fuzzy and yellow and cute and chirpy... Such a treat to see chicks in the Springtime!















There were also cute yellow ducklings, all very worried and scared of us..! So cute and fuzzy, just starting to get their tail feathers















This beautiful arrangement above contains Iris, statice, Tulips and Calla lilies. Iris will last longer if kept in a cool place.

A ruffled Cake plate, with Dragonfly kitchen towels, and a faux egg. What a cool gift for someone who loves to bake!
