Nothing seems to perk up a home like fresh flowers, but I’ve found they’re often too expensive to enjoy on a regular basis. Except for springtime! You can find wonderful bouquets and bunches of fresh flowers at WalMart or your local grocery store right now– and they won’t break the bank either. Today I discovered bunches of fresh tulips at WalMart for $5 a piece. Fifteen dollars later, they are brightening up my kitchen island, the side table in my living room, and my bathroom counter. To keep them from drooping, put a penny in the water and ditch the flower food. The copper helps balance out the water and keeps your tulips at attention!
Tulips not your cup of tea? I discovered large mixed bouquets of daisies, gerbera daisies, carnations, a handful of roses and nice greenery for under $15. Simply split them up into smaller bouquets and set around your home. Remember that a simple beverage glass can make a beautiful vase. Or you can line a favorite basket with plastic, add a soaked oasis in a shallow bowl and arrange your blooms. This is a beauty for a fireplace hearth or kitchen table.
Now go enjoy!
