Freesias were my Mother's favorite flowers. I often used to buy a slender bunch for her, "just because". Their distinctive spring perfume still makes me smile. Now I grow them myself.
Orchids are an accidental success. These are repeat bloomers from a plant I bought at a flea market a few years back, for next to nothing.
As the orchids in the previous photo seem so happy in this spot, I dug a hole and put the new plant, below, right into the ground.
Beautiful blooms...You seem to have a knack for creating wonderful at whatever you turn your hand to. I'm glad you had a good trip. You might be happy to know that my friend and I did finally reach Quantum Leap Farm and are wait-listed. I'll let you know if I finally get to ride or volunteer or whatever happens with that. Thanks for your interest.
ReplyDeletee, I'm so happy that you achieved a step towards horsedom. I remember moments when all I could do was to visit a local barn for a few minutes and inhale the scent of it. The humans there all understood.
DeleteAs I sit here looking out at the snow covered expanse of what is my lawn, my eyes are still dazzled by the beauty of those flowers. Thanks again for bringing some much needed color into this cold, white world that is New Jersey. *S*
ReplyDeleteJean, I feel so bad for everyone. Snow is only cute for about 5 minutes.
