If you are looking forward to the spring, cleaning your home and making it a fresh environment for the new season, then you're sure to be keen to make attractive, pleasant floral displays to improve the look and ambience of your living environment. There are so many types of flowers coming into bloom now in this season of renewal which are beautiful and fragrant and will find a perfect place in your home.

The spring is of course a season of rebirth, a time when the days lengthen, the sunshine is brighter and warmer, and flowers come into bloom. Take a walk through the park and you will see all this before your eyes.

Many types of spring flowers, such as tulips and hyacinths, grow from bulbs. These however are the larger and grander, showier and more ostentatious varieties, and they bloom later on in the springtime.

Smaller bulbs however are also popular with many people. These come into bloom earlier, meaning that you can set up a spring feel in your home much quicker. Usually people plant these as early as the autumn, leaving them to grow and come to form and bloom at the beginning of spring. Crocuses are particularly popular because they are seen as the first spring flowers. Though shorter and smaller than the showier, larger varieties, these are still beautiful when planted in large quantities.

The rich, bright, vivid colours of spring flowers make for beautiful displays. The crocus can be found in a range of hues, though most often in yellow, white, lilac and mauve. Of course there is a wide range of crocuses available: these are popular flowers which have a great deal of charm.

Of the larger flowers, hyacinths are always popular. With a single dense spike of fragrant flowers in all kinds of colours ? red, blue, white, orange, pink, violet, yellow ? it is a luxuriant plant to choose for your garden or display.

This is also the season for the tulip: large, ostentatious flowers, these are typically found on their own, their bright colours easily overshadowing anything you might place beside them. In red, pink or yellow most often, they are a great addition to any floral showcase.

Roses meanwhile can never be left out. Everyone loves red or white roses, but in the springtime why not go for a slightly cooler, fresher colour for your home: orange or pink hues are just as beautiful, lighter and will bring the beauty of the spring season indoors.
