Do you have fresh flowers in your home?

[Bobje]

I've got a couple of bunches of daffodils and tulips around the house.
I don't seem to be too fussed about it other than during January and February as it cheers up the long dark gloomy days.

They smell nasty, are needlessly expensive, take up space, and quite frankly don't look all that nice. When my husband and I started dating I quickly made it very clear that he should NEVER waste his money buying me flowers

No, they always die so quickly and it makes me feel sad. I do have potted plants, though.

I usually always have some cut flowers in the kitchen - usually tulips. At the moment though I have a bowl of hyacinths that my mum gave me and they smell amazing - even the teen boys have said how nice they are…

Nearly always. Tulips at the moment of course, I just adore tulips, tulip and peony season are my absolute favourites. Over the past few years I’ve been quite drawn into gardening so some of the flowers throughout the year now come from the garden, it’s funny how much more special they feel for having grown them yourself! I have house plants absolutely everywhere too, it drives my husband spare 😅

“Don’t look nice” to you.

No because we've got cats , and never know which flower is bad for them .

Yes, usually always. Currently a big mixed bunch in the kitchen which is topped up as some wilt.

And some tulips on the mantelpiece.

And orchids in the kitchen.

And plants elsewhere.

I usually buy cheap reduced ones and they last very well. We live in the countryside and I like having greenery inside as well as out. It makes spaces feel nicer to me.

Yes. Fresh bunch every week.

Yes, all the time. If I won the lottery I would have a posh bunch delivered every Friday evening but, for now, I'm happy with a cheap bunch.

Nearly always. At the moment I have red roses & carnations in the lounge & fairtrade mixed roses on the kitchen table. You can get daffs for £1 so I often have those. DH only buys me flowers on Valentines Day & sometimes on our anniversary.

Bunch of roses in DC's favourite colour because was birthday last week and they've got a few more days in them. Will replace with £1 supermarket daffodils for as long as they're about. I love flowers.

My dp has a strange but lovely talent for being in Aldi when they bring out massively reduced flowers, so yes, always.

Yes. At the mo I have a bunch of tulips from Lidl in my kitchen. Bargain at £2.20 a bunch. They last about 2 weeks. I love fresh flowers. (Hate daffodils though...)

Except for December and January I always have flowers. I’m off out to get some this morning to celebrate Lá le Bríde and welcome the Spring.

I love how flowers change a room. The scent is more subtle than air fresheners and candles, and they take your eye away from the dust and set the mood. I usually have something semi formal in the entry way and then a bit more wild in the kitchen.

A unique and wonderful talent indeed!

Yes, usually some tulips or daffs at this tine of the year. Otherwise, when people come round or as a present.

I do have some excellent fake orchids and some other sprays of fake berries but only buy those in person so I can be sure they look real enough.

Sometimes just some garden clippings, I am working on getting a garden with some cutting flowers, but I also use shrubs and ivy. Sometimes I intermingle fake and fresh.

I love flowers and luckily I have a DP who likes to buy them for me, however we now have a kitten and the flowers have stopped because kitty will trash them. Things we do for the love of cats 😀

Yes. In recent months whilst I'm.on medical treatment I've been sent lots of flowers (all timed well - one lot in compost bin, another bunch of flowers arrive!).

It's been lovely and cheers up my house. I move the vases room to room (kitchen in day, lounge at night).

I rarely buy flowers, I'll use ones from the garden but there's nothing at the moment out there but hoping for a daffodil in the next few weeks. Spring is so exciting.

Most of the time, yes. I'm a little obsessed with flowers!

Yes, always put flowers in my supermarket delivery order. This weeks bouquet is a mix of roses, alstroemeria and spray carnations. I also got two lots of daffodils.

I planted up some pale blue muscari bulbs and miniature daffodils in a bowl last week, topped it off with moss, it’s in the greenhouse at the moment but I’ll bring it inside the house later today along with the cup and saucers of pale pink muscari I’d planted.

Summertime there’s loads of flowers in the house. Sweet peas, dahlias, cosmos, aster, I grow them to cut and bring inside.

Yes, I often do.
i rarely buy them for myself but I do buy tulips when I see them.
But mostly I have fresh flowers because dd1 works in a fancy hotel and they send staff home regularly with arrangements when they have their new deliveries or after a wedding fayre or any kind of event. So there are regularly some very elaborate displays in my house 😆
sadly she’s gone back to uni now so I won’t have any of those ones for a while.

Yes, that is my opinion. You asked for my opinion, and that is it.

I only have daffodils at the moment.

Always. Even when I was younger and didn't have much money I always had flowers. Lots of plants too.

Sometimes I get 2 bunches of chrysanthemums from aldi. They last for weeks!

I also have several indoor plants plus orchids and amaryllis which flower at various times.
