Do You Have Window Boxes on All Floors?
Homeowners (and renters as well) tend to only install window boxes on the first floor of their houses. But I love the way the boxes of geraniums on this four-story white building look. On second thought, they're almost too healthy looking; they may be fake, and perhaps it wouldn't work on a more traditional house.
How-To: Upcycle Objects For Flower Display
There are plenty of wonderful vases in the world to display your bouquets. But let's be honest, the flowers themselves are where it's at. So why not upcycle some objects you already own to display those stems?
Would You Like to Own a Flower Shop?
In the new romantic comedy Love Happens, Jennifer Aniston plays flower shop proprietor Eloise Chandler. I think that tending flowers all day would be a dreamy job. What about you?
Name This Flower
This flower is a staple of the Autumn garden. It's known by several different names, one of which is also the name of an herb. Can you tell me what it's called?
Casa Quickie: Display Flowers in Old Coffee Pots
This photo, from David Giles's portfolio, is breathtakingly pretty. From the baby blue cooking range to the precious mama and babe, it just speaks of domestic bliss. But my favorite idea from the photo is, by far, the idea of using old enamel coffee pots to display fresh cut flowers.
Name This Flower
This pretty roadside weed is in full bloom right now in many parts of the country. Can you tell me its name?

Casa Quickie: Double Your Pleasure
Once you've taken steps to make your cut flowers last longer, you might as well make the most of them while they're lookin' good. Once you've put them in a chic vase, set it in front of a mirror! For the price of one bouquet, this trick will give your arrangement the visual presence of two.
Cool Idea: Get the Egg Out
Interior stylist Paul Lowe makes beautiful vignettes with food, flowers, and home interiors and often creates unexpectedly charming arrangements from everyday objects.
I love this particular idea of Paul's: using egg cups instead of vases! Egg cups are a great way to cluster short-stemmed flowers or to display one big bloom, such as a dinner plate dahlia.
