What’s your favorite springtime flower?

Spring flowers are more than a sign of the season; they’re beautiful symbols of joy, hope and renewal. What does your favorite spring flower say about your tastes and traits?

Daffodils: You’re a sunny nurturer!

Their trumpet-shaped petals “sing” spring!  If you’re drawn to daffodils, it’s likely because their bright blooms reflect your sunny disposition.  Warm & upbeat, you’re very nurturing, tending to the blossoms in your garden almost as affectionately as you tend your loved ones!

Peonies: You’re an idealistic romantic!

Peonies are to spring as roses are to summer: the season’s most romantic flower.  If you love this lush favorite, it’s likely because their dreamy, huge petals represent idealism in full-bloom.  You believe in a brighter tomorrow because you’re willing to work hard today, making sure you let your future flourish!

Tulips: You’re an elegant mystery!

Long, slender tulips make a sophisticated statement that mirrors your own elegance & showing your very own less-is-more approach on life.  And like a tulip, which always seems tantalizingly half-shut, you’re likely keeping a few secrets that only heighten the alluring mystique you exude!

Lilies: You’re strong yet serene!

Whether you prefer a fiery tiger lily or pure white calla lily, your love of the inviting petals that burst open like a star reflects your open, warm-hearted spirit.  Just as a lily is symbolic of purity and serenity, you epitomize grace under pressure, going after what you want with equal parts poise & strength!

Lilacs: You’re a creative visionary!

Lilacs have the most in common with the color purple- a hue proven to fire up inspiration.  Just looking at your favorite spring flower spikes your pull to be artistic– no wonder you’re so creative!  Something else you are? Patient.  Lilacs take several years to bloom after their first planted. You appreciate the time and effort needed to create something beautiful, making you a true visionary thinker!

Hyacinth: You’re a novelty-seeker!

Hyacinths come in a large array of colors, and if the spirited flower is your favorite, it’s likely because of the variety it offers.  Whether you’re tackling a new hobby or trying an exotic cuisine, you need novelty like hyacinths need sunshine!

House for Sale? Try using flowers!

Strategically placing flowers around your house might just up the chances of winning some ones heart with your home for sale. “If you spend $200 on flowers, in the grand scheme of things, compared to the amount of money that you’re selling your home for, it’s totally worth it,” said Lisa Lippman, a senior vice president at Brown Harris Stevens in Manhattan. “Flowers just make a place look lived in, in a good way. It makes it seem like somebody cares about the home.” Flowers can also ensure that buyer’s senses aren’t offended. “They give a fresh smell,” Ms. Lippman said. “It can potentially cover up an animal smell, stale smell, mothballs or whatever.”

“Flowers can make a home more appealing because they bring a space to life,” she said. “People can relate to how they would feel in the home, because it’s warm and intimate.” Just don’t go overboard with foliage or intense colors. All the flowers for an open house should stay simple and should enhance the surroundings, not steal the show. White flowers are more suggested than colored petals because it won’t take away from the colors your home expresses on its own.

Using seasonal flowers will set off the mood in any room and you will get the most for your money, for example using hyacinths & peonies for spring. If you fragrance go with lilies, for an open house held over consecutive weekends, use orchids, they’re more long-lasting.

As for how much you should spend, it is advised that the cost of the flowers should reflect your home’s asking price. That means your budget could range from $200 to $1,000, depending on whether you’re trying to sell an entry-level apartment or a more luxurious home. The payoff for the extra bit of effort is positively clear.
