Fleurenasci — Gifts

As I sit here and write my blog this morning, I wonder ... will spring ever arrive? It seems as if we have had a never-ending, dreary winter! However, the upside for me is that I have the pleasure of working with beautiful flowers each and every day! This past week I wrote about March flowers and their meanings. It then quickly made me think of other flowers which remind me that spring is in the air; one such flower would be the tulip! Don't tulips make you think of spring too? Their vibrant colors and their unique shape, I...

The birth sign flowers for Capricorn are the African Violet, the Snowdrop and the Jasmin. The African Violet with its essence of friendship and faithfulness holds special meaning for me.
