I yak about being seasonaly relevant, buying local and organic, minimizing my (and my clients') footprint... And don't get me wrong, I care about those issues greatly. But. But sometimes, you're walking around a giant fridge at the wholesalers', and you see out of the corner of your eye... Something that makes you forget ALL THAT.
In this case...
Ranunculus are one of my all time favorite flowers. When I started out in this business, it seems no one new about these, now they're all over the blogs. The season is relatively short, like tulips and hyacinths, and usually limited to spring. By June, I already miss them.
So, not only did I stumble upon these at the end on July, but look at this colour... So subtle. So fresh. So creamy. I hate to say this, but so feminine...
In fact they were so beautiful, they made me happy for weeks, all dried up.
Made me forget they came from halfway around the world on a giant refrigerated plane...
