What comes to mind when you think about April? You may remember childhood times, warm April showers and flowers sprouting up in the front yard. Spring evokes happy memories and good feelings; and to help celebrate this special season, the daisy has been chosen as the official birth flower. The daisy’s meaning represents childhood innocence and purity, and so makes a fitting bloom to celebrate your April born family and friends.

The white and yellow daisy is well known and loved. You may not realize, however, that daisies can be found in a wide variety of colors. Rich pastels or vibrant hot pinks, oranges, and purples; and even daisies with multiple colored petals on a single bloom – all are go-to flowers as florists arrange spring bouquets.

The daisy is one of our favorite spring flowers, but it is also part of a much larger family of plants. Close relatives of the daisy include the sunflower, the marigold, the zinnia and the chrysanthemum. All of these plants are known as vascular plants, which means they circulate water throughout their stem, leaves and to the petals. The sunflower and the daisy also share their love for sunlight; as the sunflower turns its face towards the sun, the daisy closes up at night and only opens its petals in the sun’s rays.

As April’s birth flower, the daisy is the perfect gift to send to all your friends and relatives for their special day. And as the unofficial ambassador of spring, the daisy is also the perfect flower to add to all of your spring bouquets and arrangements. They are always guaranteed to bring a carefree joy and hopeful ambiance to any room they grace. The florists at Gordon Boswell are happy to help you to choose the perfect flowers for every occasion, and to deliver them in beautiful style throughout Fort Worth.

Texans are proud of the fact that everything is bigger here, and for us, bigger also means better — in most ways. When the weather is nice, Spring in Fort Worth is magnificent. There’s always a flip side to everything. We live in an area where unpredictable weather is the norm. Spring thunderstorms and severe weather can put a real damper on our hopes of spending time outdoors. That’s why it’s so important to make our homes as appealing as our outdoor living areas are. The best way to do that is by filling your home with colorful flowers that capture the essence of the season.

Our Springtime Song arrangement is versatile enough that you can use it to brighten your home in many different ways. The short, clear oval glass vase is packed to capacity with its creative combination of flowers and accents. We chose yellow roses and tulips and combined them with green button mums and clusters of blue and yellow hydrangeas. We add grapevine accents and a decorative dragonfly for contrast and fill the vase with curly willow for a taste of rustic elegance. Use this design as a focal point on your coffee table, as a centerpiece on your dining room table, or as a dramatic accent on a console table.

The color purple is associated with royalty. You don’t have to be a purple lover to fall for our Perfectly Purple arrangement. This show-stopping stunner consists of a tall clear glass vase that we fill with tall stems of purple Liatris or Gayfeather, and fragrant stock, pink Stargazer lilies and roses, and hydrangeas. Use this elegant design on console tables, display shelves, on a dining room buffet, or to add a bold and dramatic accent to any room in your home.

If you’re like us, the first thing that pops up in your mind when thinking of spring flowers is tulips. That’s because tulips are iconic symbols of the season. Regardless of whether or not you planted any tulips on your property, you can still enjoy them in your home with our Tulip Delight arrangement. We carefully arrange tulip stems along with their leaves in a clear glass vase. We add a decorative bow for an elegant accent.

Don’t wait to decorate your home with fresh spring flowers. The Gordon Boswell floral design team is always eager to help our customers choose the most perfect seasonal flowers with which to decorate their homes.
