Thursday Flowers.....Carnations and Orchids

Thursday Flowers

When the boxes of flowers arrived at my floristry course this week I crossed my fingers that there were lots of pretty pinks.

The reason ?

A friend of mine was due 'any minute' (or so I told the class) to have her baby. I knew that it was approaching but could not remember the exact date.

As we unpacked the flowers selected for us, I spotted a few bunches of pink Carnations and knew that I had to have a bunch.

I teamed them with some raspberry Alstroemerias and ever faithful Misty and made a very girly arrangement of flowers.

A few of my classmates suggested that I chose something more neutral in case it was a boy but I knew in my heart that it was a baby girl.

Little did I know that at the same time that I was choosing the pink bunches, my friend was giving birth to her baby girl.

I received the message an hour later saying that she had been born.

What a wonderful way to start the day.

So today's Thursday flowers puts a bigger smile on my face.

So without further ado......
