Did March Roar in like a Lion for you??? Is it exiting like a Lamb???

 If March Roared in with Bad weather it would leave like a lamb or Vice Versa...

I like these Lions checking out the Flowers (and the Sign) at the Longleaf Safari Park in the UK... 

P.S. In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb? Either way... please don't pick the flowers! Grrrrrrrr....

It's amazing how we can use our arranging skills......

It's amazing how we can use our arranging skills to create something that appears to be a Giant Arrangement...

In reality this arrangement is created in a wreath ring... that allows the flowers to be placed around the perimeter of the urn... the entire middle of the arrangement is empty...

Here's what went into this "Perimeter" Arrangement
20 stems of Fuchsia Glads
10 Stems of Orchid Glads
5 Stems of Sedum
5 Stems of Hydrangeas
1 Bunch of Victoria Leatherleaf
1 Bunch of Myrtle, Grevelia, and Integrafolia
with a few stems of Curly Willow...

it's all arranged in an 18" Flower Foam Ring sitting inside the urn...

What's this Flower??? Try and take a guess.

From our Friends at Bloom Japan...

this is a ruffled variety... of a genus typically found in the northern hemisphere...

525-600 different in the genus of Violaceae...

some are annuals, some perennials, some are even shrubs...

commonly called a "pansy"... they are a cold crop and suitable for planting...even when the soil temperatures drop...

It also shares it's name with a musical instrument... 
P.S. This Ruffled Beauty is the "Viola"

It's an evergreen perennial, and many times extremely fragrant...
