Hi everyone!

My tulips are blooming


It is just the right moment in the Spring for my tulips.  I love it. . . and I love that you can cut tulips in the morning, put them in a container and they stay looking good for a few days inside.  I plan to do this - this morning...so I have been looking for a container.
Containers for flowers can be almost anything that holds water! I have some great regular glass vases but want something a little bit different. So I am on the look out.
I have found -
mason jars with ribbon,  baskets with vases in them, a bunny head thing left over from Easter,  a great looking tea kettle, old pots, an old thermos, tea cups of different colors, a cookie jar shaped like a beehive,  a galvanized bucket from my grandpa's garage, a watering can and an old wire egg holder.  What do you have?

Now all I have to do is decide!!

Hope you are having a wonderful Spring and that it is raining on your garden.
