Spring is almost here, and with it comes an array of beautiful blooms to delight the senses. As a florist, I'm always excited to work with the fresh, vibrant flowers that come into season each month. March brings us a plethora of floral options to choose from, perfect for adding a touch of natural beauty to any event or arrangement.
One of the joys of working with seasonal flowers is the opportunity to support local growers and promote sustainability. By using locally grown, in-season flowers and foliage, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also celebrate the beauty of our own region's flora. Plus, these blooms are often fresher and more vibrant, adding an extra layer of charm to any design.
So, what can we expect to see gracing our bouquets and arrangements this March? Let's take a look at some of the standout seasonal flowers:
1. Daffodils: As one of the quintessential symbols of spring, daffodils burst onto the scene in March with their sunny white to cream to yellow hues. These cheerful flowers are perfect for adding a pop of color to any arrangement and symbolize renewal and new beginnings.
2. Calla Lilies: Elegant and sophisticated, calla lilies make a stunning addition to any arrangement. With their graceful long stems and smooth, trumpet-shaped blooms, these stems add a touch of refinement and beauty to designs. In the northeast, calla lilies are typically greenhouse grown and are usually one of the first blooms of Spring that are available in our markets!
3. Muscari: Also known as grape hyacinths, muscari are small, bell-shaped flowers that come in shades of blue, purple and white. These delicate blooms are perfect for adding texture and a hint of whimsy to Spring arrangements.
4. Hellebore: With their elegant, nodding blooms and colors ranging from white and green to deep purple and pink, hellebores add a touch of understated beauty to any arrangement. These flowers symbolize hope and rebirth, making them perfect for any Spring celebration.
5. Forsythia: With its bright yellow flowers and delicate branches, forsythia adds a cheerful touch to any arrangement. These branches can be used to create stunning floral arches, centerpieces, or even standalone arrangements.
6. Ranunculus: Often referred to as the "rose of spring," ranunculus are beloved for their layers of delicate petals and vibrant colors. From soft pastels to bold oranges and reds, these blooms add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any design.
These are just a few of the many seasonal flowers available to work with in March. Whether you're planning a wedding, a corporate event, or simply want to brighten someone's day, incorporating locally grown, in-season flowers is a wonderful way to celebrate the beauty of nature while supporting sustainable practices.
