April flowers

Last weekend I went to the Palo Alto farmer's market with Julie and Julia and left with these gorgeous flowers. The top picture shows a bunch of ranunculus flowers and the bottom photo is of cherry blossom branches. The cherry blossom branches are very interesting because over the last week, they have sprouted leaves! I wonder if they realize that they are no longer attached to a tree. I love flowers to begin with, but with a wedding coming up, I am paying a lot more attention! I tend to love big floaty, flaky blossoms like peonys, antique roses, rinoculous, etc.
