As much as my allergies may be jumping for joy come June,
I sure do miss spring flowers in the summertime.
Silk is my second choice though; after all, they're the blooms that brighten my room year round! Michael's has a wealth of silk flowers, so I'm pretty certain there's some to suit your botanical taste, like these daisy-and-carnation-esque brights do for me. How to make them far from cheesy? "Plant" them in a flavorful bottle to recycle cuteness for your own decor.
