"If ever there were a time to be excited about florals, it&amp;#039;s now. Spring is in full swing and blooms are everywhere. So, in the spirit of the season, we did a bit of digging to unearth the best websites and blogs that offer inspiration for floral arrangements, floral decor, and more.  THE SITE: JL Designs WHAT YOU&amp;#039;LL FIND: West Coast floral designer Carissa Jones&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;couture&amp;quot; creations\u2014think bridal bouquets and festive tablescapes\u2014are divided between her online portfolio and blog of the same name. We especially love the vibrant event photographs that showcase her creations in festive settings\u2014complete with details of the blooms featured in each arrangement\u2014like this rich combination of dahlias, peonies, tulips, sweet peas, scabiosa, chocolate cosmos, and amaranthus. She&amp;#039;s also been known to host holiday pop-up shops, featuring cleverly paired flowers and vessels, both online and in the Los Angeles area, where she resides. jldesigns.blogspot.com Photo: Courtesy of JL Designs  THE SITE: Saipua WHAT YOU&amp;#039;LL FIND: From the very first page, you&amp;#039;ll find monochromatic stylings from these Brooklyn florists. Their arrangements, resembling classic Dutch paintings, come to life with soft and spindly blooms, such as ranunculus, poppies, and freesia, set against dark metal urns and rustic wooden backdrops. Browse arrangements they&amp;#039;ve designed for everyone from Martha Stewart to Jay-Z, and read about the inspiration behind their upcoming creations on the designers&amp;#039; blog. Fun fact: Sapiua means soap in Finnish, and the site also sells a lovely selection of soaps. saipua.com Photo: Courtesy of Saipua  THE SITE: Floral Evolution WHAT YOU&amp;#039;LL FIND: For a site that pulls together photos of floral inspirations and arrangements from all over the Web, we couldn&amp;#039;t think of a more appropriate url than theirs: flowersarewhatido.tumblr.com is pretty spot-on. Photos speak for themselves on this minimalist Tumblr feed\u2014you won&amp;#039;t find many words, but you can still search for, say, &amp;quot;tulips&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;roses&amp;quot; if you&amp;#039;re looking for inspiration of a particular variety. flowersarewhatido.tumblr.com  Photo: Courtesy of Floral Evolution  THE SITE: Flores del Sol WHAT YOU&amp;#039;LL FIND: Fresh from the Garden State, flower aficionado Christina Moreno is part horticulture expert, part floral designer.
