I think I was too late for the narcissus, wilted and drooping sadly, but the roses still looked sprightly.
So I'm joining our friend Jane's flowers in the house party with my scented offerings, including my new favourite, the tuberose, (thank you to my clever sister who patiently identifies random pictures of plants and flowers that I'm constantly sending via cell phone) - their scent fills the lounge and makes me happy.
I think you get the FITH award of the month, a floral crown. No one else had to brave the elements to join in this month.
ReplyDeleteI love the scent of tuberose.....tho a little goes a long way.
Wear your title proudly. And thanks for joining in.
xo Jane
yippee a crown...every girl deserves one, thank you Jane- I shall wear it proudly! x
DeleteAre narcissus really in bloom now? So strange. I suppose they think they are in the Mediterranean. Do you know that field- have I asked you before? - between Bishopscourt and Kirstenbosch, past the old stone houses, where they grow under old oak trees? Are they still there?
ReplyDeleteThey were the first brave two that surfaced, the others look a few weeks behind.
DeleteI know that field, I have a client in the surrounds and the first time I delivered I couldn't believe how beautiful it is down there- going that way tomorrow, will see if they are still growing and take a pic for you x
You are a brave soul. Can't believe you have narcissus in bloom, over here once Spring is gone so are they. I love that vase in your first photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amelia, the art teacher gave it to me for Christmas, I love it, it's one of those vases that everything looks great it x
