I thought I'd show you how they look before I put them in a vase. These flowers truly take my breath away. Such color. The essence of summer.
And in the vase which is always on the wood stove, being the only place in the whole house which is safe from Raya the cat who would munch away at them.
As you see, there is plenty of basil for this week's pesto!
They look so beautiful and now I'm tempted to go and pick a few flowers from my garden. Thanks for sharing. xx
ReplyDeleteI don't have the variety, and most of mine are day lilies which do not make great bouquets so I mostly enjoy my garden from outdoors, which is why I LOVE my flower CSA so much.
DeleteAnother one filled to the brim with exactly the kind of "old fashioned" flowers I love!
ReplyDeleteI always SO love your impressions!
DeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, as always! I never tire of seeing your beautiful arrangements, Nan. Thanks so much for sharing. P.S. These photos would make beautiful stationery/notecards!
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased that you like them so much. Wish you could see them in person!
DeleteAnother gorgeous arrangement and presentation.
ReplyDeleteVanessa does such beautiful work!
DeleteBeautiful -- i forgot that you had a cat, much less a flower-munching one!!
ReplyDeleteI have a post planned called Cat Tales about our almost 50 years with cats!
DeleteLovely flowers, Nan. I haven't commented in a long time, but your photos, cooking tips, readings, and other adventures are always a treasure. Also enjoyed seeing the Hollyhocks in the header. We have some too - but I've always wondered why our leaves turn brown? Love the tall, wild majestic-like blooms. Thanks for sharing.
