June brings summer into full swing as we enjoy new sights and scents. Be sure flowers are a part of your picnic by bringing some along with you. Flowers can add casual elegance simply by arranging three stems of carnations or chrysanthemums in a clear glass jar or vase. Bright yellows jump out and cooler white flowers can refresh even the hottest day. Store your flowers & vase above the ice in a cooler (working like your refrigerator) to keep them cool until it's time to display them. This month, sunshine is most abundant making flowers more plentiful and at lower prices. Buy pre-packaged bunches and display stems throughout your home and patio to intertwine garden and home. Roses are a best buy this month, so be sure to buy one dozen for the person you love most and one dozen for your own enjoyment.
