Huge blooms with a big bountiful scent.\u00a0 Just one single flower could permeate a whole room.\u00a0\u00a0 Now, years later, it still puts out show stopping blooms. And is blooming crazy right now, so I trimmed a few for this arrangement, as well as a few other blooms from the yard and put together this beauty.<\/p>\n<p>This week I challenge you to stop and smell the roses. Go outside. Look around.\u00a0 Take some clippings from your yard&#8230;branches, florals, greens, and bring the luscious beauty of spring into your home. Let them be a reminder of the power of now&#8230;and feel gratitude for your life&#8217;s bounty.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-369\" src=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11.jpg\" alt=\"Flowers from my garden\" width=\"720\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Slide11.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And of course we colored some eggs this morn&#8230;.so lots of spring colors gracing the house today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140420-145310.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \" title=\"botanical easter eggs\" src=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140420-145310.jpg\" alt=\"20140420-145310.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"720\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140420-145337.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \" title=\"flowers and eggs from the garden\" src=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140420-145337.jpg\" alt=\"20140420-145337.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"720\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140420-145351.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \" title=\"flowers and eggs from the garden in the living&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; room\" src=\"http:\/\/flowersforthepeopleaustin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/20140420-145351.jpg\" alt=\"20140420-145351.jpg\" width=\"540\" height=\"720\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received this beautiful crystal vase from Mama Sneed for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,8],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3920,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368\/revisions\/3920"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flowersforthepeopleblog.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
