Full Flower Moon – May In most areas, flowers are abundant everywhere during this time. Thus, the name of this Moon. Other names include the Full Corn Planting Moon, or the Milk Moon.

Even though we are almost out of beautiful flower season here in Arizona, there is something to be said for anything flower-related this time of year. Flowers are inviting, and a great way to bring a little fresh air and green into your home. If you don’t live in a place where flowers bloom at your feet as you take a sortie around your neighborhood like me, you can always put paper/felt/plastic bags to glue and make your own! Here are some flower ideas, plucked from the web:

the blogging world has been abuzz with the new flower arranging idea book The Flower Recipe Book. I can already tell by the cover it is one that you can continually go back to as a reference to ramp up your flower style. The photos are from design*sponge and A Cup of Jo, on how to arrange supermarket flowers, and some ideas from the book itself, including this unique lily arrangement.

This photo is one I took while putting together a bouquet of beyond-the-wall roses. I call them that because they are from my parent’s neighbor whose roses continually grow up and over into their yard. If they touch our side, they’re game, right? The last photo is a gorgeous paper rose in a pretty unique piece. The House That Lars Built created the cloche from Beauty and the Beast! I can’t wait to give one of these to my nieces once they’ve seen the movie!
