Indoor Bouquets

Yes I pick wildflowers. 

And I played with my granddaughter's Columbine picture.

Sunny Saturday

The fern and lily of the valley plants are really growing now. I even found one little hyacinth smashed over by fallen daffodil leaves. There is hope for the lonely iris by the porch. The huge crop of them on the beachfront is developing nicely. James has had a change of attire and the flag is out for the holiday weekend. All is well.

Feel free to pluck some of the lilies. There are plenty to go around and the fragrance is delightful.

Happy 62nd birthday to my firstborn today! She tells me she can't retire yet but hopes to very soon.

Flowers Doing Well...

My few flowers are really doing well. The Fuchsia had endured very cool nights and very windy conditions. What amazes me is that it needs to be watered almost every day and not just a dribble, either! 

The Martha Washington Geraniums seem to be happy in their new pot. 

Best of all the Portulaca are amazing and REALLY doing well. If I were younger, I would have a garden FULL of them!

  I picked a few of the annual Lily of the Valley flowers.  They were my mother's very favorite flower and fragrance. They grow here still - in the old flower beds surrounding the cabin front porch. She said it was her father's favorite flower.

Lily of the Valley symbolizes sweetness and humility and “You’ve Made My Life Complete” is the hidden message connected to the flower.
