Blooms in bloom

Having just decided on a date, I have spent a lot of time lately thinking about floral designs. To save on cost, I'm determined to only use in-season flowers which should be easy since most of my favorite flowers are spring blooms anyway. Here are some of the flowers I love, along with someways to use them.

amaryllis

eucalyptus

gardinia
