Spring is here...and it's already 85 degrees outside! While half the country is buried in snow and bad weather, El Paso is amazing right now. At Debbie's Bloomers, we aren't spring cleaning but we are sprucing things up.

First of all, you obviously noticed that we started a blog. I hope that this will allow us to keep you in the know about all the fun things we do here at El Paso's largest flower and gift shop. We will keep you informed about the latest in flower care, all the happenings around town that we are involved in and just some general musings.

We are working on our website, too. There are already a number of new floral arrangements available (like the one above), and today we are working on creating fun gift collections for Administrative Professionals Week, April 22-26 and Mother's Day, May 10 - Mexican, May 12 - American.

Every once in a while, we also design flowers! Haha. The high schools are already geared up for prom, Hanks High School was last weekend, and we are making corsages and boutonnieres even more beautiful and unique than ever before with keepsake bracelets, tons of sparkles and amazing flowers. Plus, the administrators are already looking towards graduation. We have received numerous orders for their ceremony flowers and plants. Did you know that we provide more than 12 of our El Paso schools with blooming plants and podium arrangements?

Look for our blog every Wednesday and don't hesitate to give us your two cents. Whether it questions about flowers, ideas for our blog or just a little note to let us know what were doing right (or wrong), we would love to hear from you.

I never have a favorite flower for long and this week hydrangeas, those lush flowers above, are at the top of my list. What is your? Tell us in the comments what your favorite is and why.
