And forget that spring is still a few weeks more away...

Late Winter inspiration

Oh the whims of our weather. While so chilly in late winter, we start to see the earliest signs of spring. Hyacinths, ranunculus and sweet peas inspire us to dream of the next season's offerings. With of course, a little dose of moody winter color added in the mix. 

This mild season has also given us early blooming branches: favorites including prunus, forsythia, and cherry have already arrived in our stores. These beauties always brighten any room they embrace. And make you forget it is still winter in Portland.
