FLORAL DESIGN BY LAURA DOWLING

Thank you Veranda magazine for the flowers this morning. I just discovered your entre to Spring and on a gloomy grey Sunday morning they were perfect! Now that we’ve been blessed with some rain, the daffodils are popping up all over the hills.  For me spring begins with the magnolia trees vibrant fuchsia and orchid blossoms contrasted by the taupe color of their branches.  I particularly love it when the trees catch my eye in a pasture full of wild yellow mustard and brilliant green wild grass.  Reminiscent of warmer and longer days these botantical and flora expressions of Spring mark the beginning of the energy that propels us into March!
