Velvety soft roses nestled among seed pods and pumpkins. Calla lilies, celebrating purity and grace--so beautiful they need no embellishment other than a white lace handkerchief tied with a gossamer ribbon.  Petals of paradise, as vividly colored as a tropical sunset. Lush centerpieces that take the breath away.  Have a passion for flowers?  Bring their loveliness and sweetness into your home-and into the lives of those you cherish. Create the absolutely perfect present, make any occasion truly unforgettable, or assemble the ideal decoration for any occasion with the help of a professional designer.  Month-by-month, from summer party days to merry Christmases, mark every holiday with these blossom-rich, extravagant ideas (accompanied by lyrical photo essays) for unusual bouquets, surprising arrangements, and exquisite presentations.  With information on selecting, mixing, and preserving your flowers too.
