You can really assume the florists types are always the more tender types - bred for ease in forcing bloom to coincide with a particular holiday/date, low compact foliage. I don't have an exact name for yours. You have to keep in mind that these aren't grown with long term health in mind, but rather for a more brief floral display as most of the plants will be enjoyed as per long-lived bouquets and then discarded. They've been under a regime of artificial lighting, fertilizers, growth hormones to bring them to bloom while small - which they may or may not recover from. I've seen them go either way in my 8b, either winter damaged or happily settled into an outdoor environment. You could try planting and see how it does, or plant into a larger container and then move that someplace unheated but protected during your coldest winter weeks. (initially it will need to be gradually acclimated to being outside, much like you would harden off a tender annual).

VictorianGirl is a poster on www.hometalkentertainment.com. Go to Interior design forum. She posts every Mon what she bought the previous week. She had a very pretty table for Mom's Day and you could go back to see her Easter table too. And Mary, thank you for trying to get a pic for me. That was very thoughtful of you! And thanks, Luvs, Sandi and Mary. It had to be simple, in 5 min it looked like a war zone. I got the watering cans a few years ago in that store we had in town that I have spoke so often about...Dansk. They had great stuff, wonderful sales, and freq generous coupons!

Luckygal, where in the world are you? Somewhere near a beach obviously--but which one. Sorry no good luck on the TS shopping, do keep trying! Jeanne, I have two baker's racks outside, one is a corner unit--but neither look nearly as cute as yours with your collections and vignettes. I need to work on mine I think. That is so neat that you do the Farmer's market too. Candy, I'm another one who does tablescapes for my "imaginary" friends. DH will only eat at the table when we have company--rest of the time he prefers to eat in front of the tv. Karen, I didn't do a table, but I did glue a little cheese tray and glass dome on a pedestal and decorate it--can I get any points for that? ;o) Kathleen, the rooster napkins like in your photo that you shared with me are some of my favs. We don't do sit down breakfast often, but I like to just sit the table and display them on the plates because they look so cute.

Our two local kids are coming down with their families. My older son turns 37 on Mother's Day, so we are taking him out to dinner at a fancy restaurant he has requested. He and his wife are cooking a brunch for us and his sister's family as his gift to me. I love it when he cooks, something he took up after he left home. Then our daughter will head home so that she will have the kids and SIL in bed at a decent hour before work and school the next day.
