Everyone still remembers the gorgeous wedding bouquet Lady Diana Spencer carried on her wedding day to  Charles, the Prince of Wales. Princess Diana's bouquet was an enormous cascading style designed with gardenias, stephanotis, Odontoglossum orchids, Earl Mountbatten roses, lily of the valley, freesia, veronica and ivy. As Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding day approaches, the latest news is the couple will honor Princess Diana with their choice of flowers. Prince Harry's Mother's favorite flower was garden roses. 

On every tulip lover's list is Hortus Bulborum , a volunteer run Dutch garden dedicated to conserving historical blooming bulbs before they vanish for good.   Touted as one of the most exciting gardens in the Netherlands - perhaps in Europe - is devoted entirely to the preservation of historic bulb varieties. The oldest varieties are from the 17th Century  when a phenomenon called "Tulipomania" created a buying frenzy and then subsequent market crash. Spring is the time to visit between March and May, and April will have the biggest selections in bloom.

Just as common as the return of iconic fashion every 30 years, flowers from the '80s are back in a big way. As a genre, tropicals are" it" . Anthuriums, Birds of Paradise and orchids along side tea roses, tinted babies breath and  Monstera leaves are again fashionable. Not everyone is pleased, but there is no stopping trends when the Millennials  step forward with their ideals. Plants long forbidden in tasteful circles are here also; Palm fronds, Protea, and even the dreaded tea roses, carnations and babies breath are returning in style.
