Budding Blooms

Photo: Virginia MacDonald for Style at Home | Mar 11
It's getting to that time of year here on the west coast where the crocus are just peeking out of the earth and buds are appearing on the trees.  One of my favourite times. The idea of forcing a few branches has been on my mind lately as I long for warmer weather and new things.  Style at Home's March issue has inspired me even more with these beautiful photo's of blossoms against beautiful dark blue backgrounds.  (The magazine is available online here). Related: Last year I found a video on how to force blossoms. Check it out here.

Beautiful post! I plan to try my luck with the video. *fingers crossed*. The husband says I have more of a brown thumb than green, but the plants in my studio still live, and I am SO determined to prove him wrong!!!
