I know it's winter. For some of us that means frigid temperatures. But no matter how cold it may get, you can still have fun with flowers.
I'll give you a couple of ideas and then come up with some of your own:
1, Make a cute little display like the one above from a post called, "Flowers At Home" by Radostina over at her delightful blog, 79 Ideas.
2. Buy brightly colored fresh flowers in cheerful colors and place them in small bottles or glasses around your space.
3. Find a vase that makes you smile and pop in a bunch of green spider mums or carnations. They'll last you 10 - 14 days if they're fresh and you take care of them. You can learn how to pick out the best flowers here.
4. Take a look at my pinboard called, Floral Vignettes for some inspiration.
5. Buy yourself a bunch of Gerbera daisies. They are so bright and fun on dreary days.
Be sure to keep your fresh flowers away from drafts and sources of heat. They'll last longer and make you happy every time you look at them.
What's your best tip for displaying flowers?

when i buy flowers i always cut the ends of the stems off under water , they always seem to last longer that way

Cutting the stems of flowers under water is a great idea. When I began as a florist, I attempted to do it, but it became so labor intensive that I had to stop. Thanks for your comment.

I know. The weather here in New York City is still quite chilly. A floral project sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
