“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
– Lady Bird Johnson

Flowers are beautiful and everybody loves then. Two major reasons for loving flowers are smell and beauty. They smell great and come in many shapes, sizes and colors. Each flower is unique in its own way and that’s what appeals to people the most.

Flowers are not just eye candy, they play an important role for the environment. For instance, bees make honey with the help of flowers.

If you have a big event coming up, it will help if you familiarize yourself with the seasonal flowers that will be abundantly available during your event.
