I needed a lovely bouquet of flowers to brighten up these cold winter days so I ventured into the very very busy Trader Joes that is around 30 minutes from us to see if the floral bloom selection was any good. Don’t hate me but I haven’t quite figured out the hype of Trader Joes yet there is a steady stream of people going in and coming out of that place. I tend to stay away from it most of the time but finding good fresh flowers at a reasonable price seems to be difficult around here. I was so overwhelmed with trying to fight the people all wanting flowers that I didn’t grab any iPhone shots of everything available. I was very pleasantly surprised at the selection and how good almost all of them looked. Now I just need to figure out a day and time when this place isn’t so busy.

Here they are! I brought them home and made a good enough for me bouquet and started styling them in my home. As you can see, this gardener is ready to get in the dirt with rain/mud boots, my basket and scissors waiting for that day to come.
