Nothing makes me happier than being surrounded by beautiful flowers in fresh colors. I’ve been blessed with a boyfriend who I love more than anything and who I think is absolutely perfect, except for one thing.. No matter how many hints I give him about how happy I would be if he bought me flowers once in a while, it just doesn’t fly, haha. He’s bought me flowers a few times, but I’ve done some serious hinting every time, some would probably call it orders. So anyhow, the point was, I’m forced to buy all the flowers myself, and my boyfriend doesn’t even notice them. Anyone sharing my pain out there, or is it just me?
Today on my way home I stopped by a flower store, and really splurged on gorgeous flowers. I brought some cash from the pop up shop, so I sort of feel like my readers got me flowers, yay! I’m trying to get other flowers than roses, which is what I almost always get. This time these incredibly pretty cymbidiums came with me home, yellow because of easter of course. Yes, I had to google how to spell the name, hah.
I also got some pink branch carnations. I just love pink flowers!
I also have a bunch of roses that have stayed pretty for almost three weeks..
And of course several orchids..
From now on you can just call me the crazy flower lady. Seriously, I can’t get enough! I also have the prettiest blue hydrangea, but it has definitely seen its best days. Those things are freakin’ impossible to keep alive!!
Do you have a favorite flower? I would love some tips for my next flower frenzy♥

Message for Cathy’s boyfriend: Shame on you, man! Buy flowers for your girl every week!!! :D
Haha, I know what are you talking about :D My boy is the same as your :) Ahhh boys, if they only know how pretty is to give flowers to their girls without any special reason… Maybe then they would give flowers to their girls more often!!! You are romantic soul as me haha.
You wrote: “I also have a bunch of roses that have stayed pretty for almost three weeks..” … How do you succeed to keep roses pretty and alive for three weeks? What is the secret??? :)
Kisses <3 <3

Så utrolig vakre og nydelige blomster :-) Jeg har flere favoritter – bl.a. roser, tulipaner og orkideer :-)

Jeg får blomster nøyaktig 2 ganger i året….morsdag og bryllupsdag. Aaaaaaldri ellers. ;-)

Jeg elsker blomster (kanskje ikke så rart siden jeg jobber i blomsterbutikk), men det betyr at jeg må kjøpe alle blomstene selv :( Synes det er så koselig å få blomster, og spesielt fra kjæresten :) Han mener visst det er nok blomster her, men det skaper liv i hjemmet mener nå jeg. Ranunkler er nydelige nå på vårparten, ellers er jeg svak for roser i dus rosafarge. Cymbidium er også vakre, pleier å stå en god stund, noe som alltid er en fordel :)
Karoline W says
Åååh, det var utrolig fine blomster! Og likte vasen med de gule blomstene veldig godt!
cathrineheienberg says
Takk, elsker den selv :D
cathrineheienberg says
Åh, det virker så kos å jobbe i blomsterbutikk :) Ja, krysser fingrene for at disse holder lenge :)
cathrineheienberg says
Haha! Typisk :)
cathrineheienberg says
Haha you are so sweet :) I change the water every two days, I cut them like twice a week, and I never let any leafs go into the water. That’s it :)
Milla says
Du er ikke den eneste….:( Men blomstene du kjøpte var i hvertfall nydelige! Så fint med gule, og noe litt annet enn roser :)
