Today was the first workshop of spring out at Aunt Willie's Wildflowers. Twelve women from a local gardening club donned their boots and made the trek out to the farm for a bird's nest workshop (pictures on website).
I went out to the farm yesterday to help Linda clean up the homeplace and make a few arrangements. We were so excited to be back outside working with the flowers. Yes, you heard right, flowers already! East Tennessee has had quite a few warm days making many of the flowers at Aunt Willies bloom early. This morning was sunny and with all the colorful flowers, I just had to take a few pictures to share with you all.
I couldn't believe how many arrangements we were able to make from the early bloomers. Small, white pitchers made the spring colors pop. Don't worry about not having much green filler to add to your arrangements, simple and loose combinations work well with these vibrant spring flowers.
These three pitchers in the window are my favorite arrangement location at the farm. We always have one stem of whatever is blooming in each pitcher. The simplicity of this arrangement against the beautiful landscape outside the window always makes a statement.
So, for those of you with a few bulbs popping out of the ground, grab your favorite jars or pitchers, cut a few stems, and bring some glorious spring into your home.

Not only does the three flowers in the three pitchers make a statement, but the photograph itself is beautiful! I would recommend matting and framing that shot -- Obvious to say, I loved the picture! Simply Beautiful
I agree with Tam, it's a beautiful pic that I would choose to have framed or on canvas at my home
