Welcome!

The Leap Floral blog is the beginning stage of what I hope to be my exciting, fun, and beautiful future. I hope you enjoy my musings on gardening, flowers, recipes and other stuff. The inspiration for the name of my future shop comes from my Aunt Nancy, her favorite saying is "leap and the net will appear." When I was surprised by a forced career change, I was freaked out, but she (and the rest of my wonderful family) explained that now was the best time to make my dream of being the owner of a great little shop come true. So, I took the leap and here it begins...

Arizona vegetation is pretty amazing. I can't believe that the Arizonians get to live with bougainvillea growing so wild that it probably is considered weedy at this point, the color is so intense it seems to glow in the dark. Mexican heather is so plentiful that the entire resort smells beautiful, and there is this really funky orange and yellow flower that is envy inducing for a flower lover such as myself. But, my favorite (right now, at 5:48pm on Tuesday) is the crazy purple cactus that my sister and I are photographed with above. It looks like it's been watercolored. Love it. The yellow and orange plant is the photo below, don't know what it is, but it sure is pretty.

  1. I do believe that fabulous purple cactus is a prickly pear...I LOVE THEM!! They have beautiful hot pink or yellow flowers. Not sure on the other one either but I am with you about the spectacular bougainvillea!
