Springtime in Boulder!

Last Monday, Memorial Day, the Boulder Blooms crew got motivated and joined the thousands and thousands of people who participated in the Bolder Boulder 10K road race. We're not a terribly athletic bunch, and decided to walk the race... with large floral structures attached to our heads, of course.


We were psyched to learn that we'd be walking in the same wave as a group of "Leapfroggers"- an ambitious bunch who decided to- yup, you guessed it- leapfrog the length of the Bolder Boulder course. We're not sure how far they made it, but they were a fun crew!

Shannon's arrangement was dubbed the 'Veil of Illusion'. I'm fairly certain she'll hold a grudge against me for a while for making her wear twigs in her face.

Claire rocked a fun piece with electric-purple feathers, purple dendrobium orchid florets, bright green Fuji mums, and a spikey palm frond that gained her about a foot in height.

I stabbed myself in the skull repeatedly trying to put my arrangement together, but liked the look in the end.

Thankfully, the rain held out for us until the walk home. Thanks for cheering us on!
