I like to have flowers in the house all year and they must come from my (or Doug's) garden. Yesterday, I picked some brightly coloured zinnias from Doug's and, when I got home, found some different coloured alstroemerias. With a couple of pieces of greenery I like the effect.
Not exactly a flower this time but I liked the look of this when I was doing some pruning early this morning.
That is a very nice selection of happy flowers.
ReplyDeleteThey just happened that way but look so nice and bright.
DeleteGorgeous alstromerias, and the little filigree candle holder is truly delicate and so beautiful
ReplyDeleteI have always known the little candle holder and just love it. It gets used on the odd occasion when there is a power cut.
DeleteThe beautiful shades of summer - I love your vase of mixed flowers, so vibrant and they say happiness to me!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was just by chance I found the yellowy alstroemerias and they give it a lift.
DeleteThose are absolutely gorgeous flowers. A fabulous display. If I had a garden that produced those I'd be picking them too.
ReplyDeleteYes, it goes against the grain to buy flowers. Ones from the garden are so much better on many fronts.
DeleteGood to have a splash of colour, but that one on its own is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI wondered if anyone would mention this. As I said it is not really a flower. It is what is left when the petals fall off a Tibouchina or Lassiandra flower.
DeleteVery pretty - I couldn't resist picking it.
I love zinnias, they're so bright and cheerful. It's been grey and raining all day today, but the daffodils and crocus are starting to come out, which is good.
ReplyDeleteYes, Doug's zinnias are a real show. I must plant some next year. Good to hear your daffodils and crocus are starting - the beginning of spring.
DeletePouring here today.
Look after yourself.
What a gorgeous splash of colour!
