Things have been moving so fast around here I can barely believe it’s mid-May already!?

And mid-May means it’s time to visit the garden centres and covet all the plants and blooms I wish I could take home.

Flower power

Do you have a favourite spring and / or summer flower?

Tulips are my favourite-est spring flower. They always make me smile and feel hopeful. I think I’d be quite comfortable living in the Netherlands, surrounded by rows and rows of tulips. 😊

Gladiolis are my favourite summer flower. I convinced my mom to let me plant some for a couple years and watching them grow was so much fun. They are the blooms that keep on giving!

Sweet peas are my nostalgic favourite. They were probably the first flowers I became aware of when I was little. They grew in our front yard every year and I used to run out everyday to see if they had changed.

I mainly grow gloriosa daisies on my balcony now. They are colourful and hardy, aka can still thrive if accidentally neglected. Uh oh! 🙄 Mix in a few impatients and I am good to go!

Bloom in all ways

All of these flowers and blooms inspired this week’s printable.

As a verb, “bloom” means to grow and to flourish. It’s to emerge from a restful state with refreshed vigour and enthusiasm.

This is how I feel right now. Refreshed and brimming with new ideas and plans and goals. I’m just starting a new period of career and personal growth and it feels scary and incredible.

Bloom is the best way to describe where I am at right now with my projects.

So may this print inspire you and remind you to always bloom.
