January is time to pay the holiday bills and dream of spring. But you can bring some spring inside affordibly while you're dreaming of even more sunshine. Yellow is a great floral color this month, so buy a few yellow Gerbera daisies or chrysanthemums and bring home some smiles. Even 3-5 stems, a small bouquet, can brighten up the kitchen table or your computer desk. Add a splash of purple, stock or carnation, for a bright combination. Want to soften the look a little, add some pink or light orange mini-carnations for another great spring combination.

Flower Tip Of The Month

Health and prosperity is key when beginning a new year. To keep flowers healthy for a long as possible this year, follow these simple steps:

• Immediately cut an inch to an inch-and-a-half off of the stems while holding them under water.
• Place the flowers in fresh, clean water.
• Add floral preservative/flower food.
• Keep the leaves above the water line.
• And be sure to re-cut the stems and replace the water every 2-3 days.
