Flowers and Bunnies and Springtime, Oh, My!
Hi everyone and Happy Easter!
I've put together a post filled with photos from my workplace again. I hope you're not tired of seeing them. I wasn't going to do it this spring but some of you requested that I do, so here we go!
This is my ABSOLUTE favorite time of year in the floral department! It is filled to the rim with lovely, spring fragrances and colors! The Hyacinth gives off the most beautiful, soft fragrance! I can't tell you how many customers walk by to grab a shopping cart and say, "Oooo, what smells so good?!" I tell them it's the hyacinth and they immediately put one of them in their cart! It's a fun way to sell a product, don't ya think?
Okay, here are the photos - enjoy!!
These whimsical bunnies greet the customers as they come in the door near the flower dept. Don't ya just love their giant ears?! They make me smile! :)
These two are displayed near the front desk/service counter - I adore her adorable dress and sweater!
A close-up of the antique cart - in between the bunnies - filled with pretty spring blooms and vines - LOVE!
We also have bunnies in baskets. . . . .
. . . .and bunnies in rockers!
And then there's the flowers. . . . .
From Tulips to. . .
. . . .Hyacinth. Amazing blue, huh?
Another one in a gorgeous pink - YUM-MEEE!
The Campanula is always a favorite of my customers.
This is an African Violet - one of the prettiest I've seen - love the variegated blooms!
Can you believe this is a Cyclamen?! It's called the Vintage Cyclamen and it is fabulous!
Always love the elegance of the Calla Lily!
We even received some Gardenias this season - yay!
Can ya guess what this one is? It's called, Shooting Star Hydrangea - isn't it awesome?! We only get it in twice a year. Take a look at the close-up. . .
You can see just a hint of bluish-purple in the center of each bloom - so gorgeous!
Of course we had lots of Easter Lilies too, but by the time I took these photos today, we had already sold out. They are not a favorite of mine anyway.
I hope you enjoyed this display of spring! With the long, drawn-out winter we've had this year, it's been wonderful working among all this beauty!
Thanks for stopping by! Wishing all of you a very Happy Easter! :)

Barb, I love seeing photos of your work! Especially since they come with all those beautiful flowers (and cute bunnies). That African Violet is stunning, I don't think I've seen one that colour before. The hyacinths are so beautiful! Selling by smell sounds like a great idea to me. ;-)
I loved the photos of your workplace. What a lucky girl you are to work in such a pretty environment - and the smells would be amazing. Loved that shooting star hydrangea too, had never heard of it before but it is just lovely.
Barb, wonderful pictures. Those bunnies are adorable, and I can practically smell the flowers. Thanks so much for sharing.
So very beautiful - I love all of the flowers you've shown. The blue and pink hyacinths are just gorgeous!!! And those bunnies are just too, too adorable. Thanks for sharing these with us.
Happy Easter, Barb!
Sweet Barb, I will never grow tired of the photos you share. It's so much FUN to get to see ALL the BEAUTY that surrounds you in your workplace. What a wonderful sales person you are! I hope you had enough Hyacinths for everyone. Loved your story!
What beautiful flowers & darling bunnies! And what a fabulous way to brighten someone's day!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Happy Easter!
Hi Barb, thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures - you make we want to buy flowers, too! Loved that Cyclamen - never saw this one anywhere - maybe I have to keep my eyes open.... I wish you a Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Barb! Just a perfect time to peek into your blog to see these sweet bunnies and Spring flowers! Have a beautiful day today! Hugs, Nat :)
In my imagination I can smell the hyacinth all the way over here - mine are just shy of starting to bloom out in the garden. Need some warmer temps. Happy Easter to ya.
Beautiful photos and displays, Barb. It would be hard not to take one of each of the flowers home! Love, love the bunnies too - so adorable! Happy Easter to you!
Thank you for sharing, Barb. It is so wonderful to say that I know someone who works in heaven!! Happy Easter!!
Oh my, Barb...what a GORGEOUS array of beauty!!! The bunnies are too cute and your displays are AMAZING!!! I can't decide which flower I love most, but I would probably buy them all if you were arranging them! I sure wish you lived and worked near me...my local store doesn't even come close, when it comes to your floral department...heck, my florist doesn't look this beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing these pics with us...I hope you and your family have a lovely Easter!

Don't EVER stop doing these posts, Barb! Love all your pictures today - yes, that hydrangea is amazing! And I ADORE those bunnies in their rocking chairs, too - they made me smile big! I'll be going home and putting out some bunnies around the house to pretend spring is there :))
Oh how beautiful.
I love today's photo fest.
Barb, you are surrounded by Mother Nature's best :)

What a wonderful post, I love all the flowers! And the bunnies in the rocking chairs are my favorite. Thank-you for introducing us to some flowers I'll have to look out for now, especially the shooting star hydrangeas. We are still waiting on a real Spring here too, so your post is very uplifting. Hope you had a lovely Easter holiday.
