I don't think at Sundance's prices I would even think of putting those flowers outside!

Those faux tulips look so real.  Those are my favorite flower.

@CoffeeNut,  agreed, the "real touch" tulips they're making these days are eerily real.  I love tulips too!   Those and lily of the valley are my two favorites, of all time.

 

I love a vase or pitcher crammed full of white tulips in the spring!

Re: FLOWERS FOR SPRING, FAUX AND REAL

@Oznell  I have an extensive collection of faux florals for every season and theme, which I have been collecting for years, buying all over, zulily, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc., mainly zulily and Michael's, and they are so realistic and gorgeous.  I have eleven arrangements just in the kitchen every season, have posted many in the Holiday thread.  I am addicted to them and am trying to reign myself in.

 

When DH began working from home two years ago, I let him have a slender area, so he is buried in faux florals, lol.  Before he announced he would be working there, I had planned to use the entire 600 sq. ft. room for the florals which I have in huge bags like Martha Stewart sold with weights on the bottom as they are top heavy.

 

I also have gardens by color, but when bringing flowers inside, they don't last as long as outside, and they are messy, though I do bring a few in for the windowsill.

Oh, boy, @mousiegirl ,  you are an artist extraordinaire, with your flowers!  Eleven arrangements in the kitchen alone, wow.  But I know what a fun outlet it is for you, and the pictures you've posted prove your artistry.  I bet even hubby enjoys it thoroughly--  beauty everywhere makes life worth living.
