Spring Time!

It's Spring... you can hear the birds chirping and see the snow melting... literally as it runs down the road ditches! The thought of digging into a garden and watching crocus, daffodils, and tulips blossom makes me want to plow the remaining snow off the gardens and lay a cold frame over them. 'tis the time of year when the gray-brown snow makes you yearn for the green grass.

With Spring comes proms in the high schools, weddings across the Copper Country, memorial services for those who passed on over the winter, and Easter! We're gearing up for all of them!

PROM DRESS SWAP.... a fundraiser for Calumet High School Band

The first annual prom dress swap was held in Calumet a couple weeks back. The girls excitedly tried on dresses at the historic Miscowabik Club (miscowaubik.org) while vendors, (such as the Kukkakauppa,) hawked their wares. From free "up-dos" at three salons, jewelry, tanning options, teeth whitening, tux options, and of course flowers.... the girls had the option to see/feel what Prom 2011 promises to offer!



A simple peruvian lily with leaves and bow adds grace to the prom dress.

A Daisy a Day... with ribbons and buttons, even the most simple daisy corsage adds smiles, warmth, and happiness to the prom-goer.

  Purple Monte Casino and a purple zebra print ribbon adds excitement to any dress!

Pretty in pink or any other color of rose... romance and a zebra ribbon in matching colors offers the fun of the wild side!

Sarah tries on a "hot" orange and purple dress with large gemstones across the bodice. How fun! Did she buy it? Or did sh choose one of the others she tried on???














SPRING WEDDINGS

Purple Passion. Less expensive carnations fill out a bouquet with more expensive calla lillies. Focus on the gorgeous callas and the you don't even realise your grandmother's carnations are what make them "pop".








Amorous Red and White gerbera daisies show their wilds side with bear grass circling the bouquet. Gerbera diaises come in many colors...pink, magenta, red, burgandy, white, yellow, orange, peach, rust, cream, and bicolor.

Lime green, royal purple and white hearld the beginning of Spring. Belles of Ireland, Callas, and Gilly Weed celebrate the end of winter and growth of a new season!















MEMORIAL SERVICES

Way up here in the north country, the deceased cannot be buried until the ground is thawed enough to dig. Thus, Memorial Day weekend, many services are held for those who have passed on during the winter. Watch in the coming days for our Cemetery markers of silk. We also offer freshly planted geraniums, ivy, marigolds, zinnias, and other summer plants for boxes and baskets that we deliver to local cemeteries! Perennial care is also available.

EASTER is April 24. We're taking orders for lilies, hydrangeas, bulb gardens, azaleas, and fresh cut arrangements. Need lilies for your church? Give us a call for our special church pricing.
