Costco’s Pre-planted Flower Bulb Pots Make Spring Gardening Easy – Yahoo Life

Popular Flower Types

The best way to choose a favorite flower is to think about what it represents. Sunflowers, for example, represent optimism, long life and good luck.

They’re also a symbol of the strong bonds between friends and loved ones. They’re a popular choice for wedding bouquets and personal arrangements like boutonnieres and corsages.

Spring is allegedly here, and even though the weather isn’t exactly cooperating to its full potential just yet, we are already itching for the signs of spring and summer that are so welcome after a gray and dreary winter. Nothing beats seeing the natural world come back to life, with buds on trees, birds chirping, and the first spring flowers beginning to send up sprouts in your garden. Unless, like us, you don’t really have a garden, and even if you did, chances are it’s looking a little neglected. Costco has the answer for those of us who are dying to feel like we have a spring time green thumb, even when the reality is that we can kill just about any plant without even trying. They’re selling pre-planted flower bulb pots that you can set on your front stoop, on the patio, or right in the garden, and other than the ocassional watering, you’ll be rewarded with bright and cheery flowers without having to get down and dirty in the muck and soil.
