My Rooftop Flower Garden

Ever since Spring really opened up here a few weeks ago here in New York City, I've become pretty much obsessed with developing a rooftop garden. I just bought a tree this last weekend and immediately repotted it into a larger pot the next day. I also called 1800flowers and got a bunch of different flowers and plants delivered.

The reason I had plants delivered from 1800flowers is that my house is very far from a good gardening store and it really is a load off my mind to have plants delivered straight to me rather than having to lug them on the subway. I've even started following 1800flowers on Twitter so that I can keep track of special deals and offers. Even though spring is just beginning, I can tell that I'm going to be working with my plants on my rooftop all season!

My Rooftop BBQ

Now that it's finally feeling like spring in New York City, I've started making plans with my roommates to hold a barbeque on our rooftop a few Sundays from now. Aside from a southern-themed menu, we're planning on buying a bunch of flowers to decorate the tables that will set up.

With all the preparation that the project is going to need, we're planning on just using 1800flowers to deliver flowers to us at home. Aside from being convenient and easy for us, there are some really good Coupons for 1800Flowers and 1800 flowers Promotion codes available right now that make the flowers a lot cheaper as well. That's a huge relief for all of us, since we'll be able to spend that extra money on other party preparations!

The Complex Beauty of Iris Flowers

I was visiting with my in-laws last week and was left alone in the house for a few hours while the rest of the family went on errands. In my boredom, I took to looking through the ornate decorations of their living room. Since they are quite wealthy and quite tasteful, the paintings on the walls were all very lovely and intellectually stimulating.

What surprised me was how interested I was in an Iris they had sitting by the window. I've never been particularly interested in flowers before, but I was completely amazed by the elegant, extremely complex beauty of these flowers. It made the paintings hanging on the walls seem coarse and simplistic. It just goes to show that no matter how talented an is, he can never match up to the pristine, overwhelming beauty of nature, the best artist.

I ended up ordering a lot of Flowers for myself from 1-800-Flowers and have been obsessing about them ever since. I've never been so happy to have visited my in-laws!
