The Flowers of Paris
The Flowers of Paris dot the city and when I visited Paris this summer I was amazed to find blooming, colorful flowers on every walk. The pictures are so beautiful I simply had to share. Who can resist heart-shaped flowers. Perfect for any token of love or to decorate any wedding ceremony. Too many variations of pink to count in these stunning blooms. These healthy Hydrangea liven up any space in dramatic Purple and Green. The flowers of Paris really are magical. 0
