Boyd’s Flowers wishes you a fabulous 4th of July, one spent swimming or boating on the lake, kicking the football around in the backyard, or napping in a hammock before heading out to catch one of the Wilmington area firework shows in the evening. One of the best parts of Independence Day is that we’re truly free to celebrate how we like, though most of us choose to relax, play and spend time with family and friends. If you’ll be hosting some of yours, you might be sprucing up your place a little bit. While you’re getting the garden and yard in order, fixing that tire swing or cleaning out the grill, grab yourself some 4th decor, including some flowers.

Ever wish you could conjure the image of beautiful fireworks lighting up the sky in flowers? You can with one spectacular design we call Blue Bayou. The arresting blue and purple color of these dendrobium orchids coupled with their scale is the closest you’re going to get to a floral firework. Leaving aside how mesmerizing the colors are, the ferns and other green accents provide a lot of texture and movement.

The cobalt blue vase is in keeping with the red, white and blue decor you may have going on elsewhere. In short, this is the perfect 4th of July floral piece. You’re welcome.
