Branch Season





Springtime means flowering branches are in season.  Forsythia and cherry blossoms are blooming everywhere you look.  Pussywillow has sprouted.  Showy and dramatic, branches are gorgeous arranged by themselves, or mixed with fresh cut flowers to add height and visual interest.  An arrangement of blooming branches is a great way to show off a unique or oversized vase.  And, of course, cutting from your own yard is economical.  You can "force" branches by cutting them from the bush, so long as it's above freezing outside.  For more information on "forcing" branches, please follow this link:
Enjoy the spring weather, and bring some spring inside by displaying beautiful blooming branches.

  1. I just clipped some pink flowering dogwood branches off of my neighbor's tree (with her permission, of course). Just lovely.
