Something for the weekend

Welcome bloggers and thanks for stopping by.


Thank you for your lovely comments on my last post and a warm welcome to new followers...

We're all so excited because buds have started to appear in gardens, and on trees, in parks and along winding country roads and you all know

I LOVE COLOUR IN INTERIORS








 and I always post pics of colourful blooms ...







but I have a confession to make....







I love white flowers and I love blue flowers. 
 Period.







My favourite white and blue blooms have to be Hyacinths for their heady scent and intricate flower head, and then white roses.

I have no idea why I just like white and blue...perhaps it's because I used to have a entire front garden full of white iceberg roses, and I found the white very calming and the smell was so intoxicating in the heat of the South African sun, and my garden path which was lined with fragrant lavender....



and Lavender is so versatile, it smells divine, it keeps away mosquitoes (did you know that?)

Dried, it makes the most delicious biscuits and can be used in cakes as well.

or as filling in fabric hearts to hang in wardrobes to give your linen a lovely fresh smell.





(and no this is not my garden)





But this is slowly changing.





After watching Sarah Raven's programmes on TV,
I am being drawn to more colourful blooms.

  1. Such beautiful images! I love all colors of flowers, except for orange flowers. I find those to be so...not pretty. I have orange day lilies and I really don't like them.
    I love white very much and pink, purple and red, those are probably my favorite. Hyacinths are my all time favorite flower, though, I LOVE their heady smell.
    Enjoy your lovely Spring day.
    Hugs, Cindy

  5. Well it is autumn here in NZ and we have all come down with our first horrible colds of the season, so seeing all these gorgeous flower photos on your post has really cheered me up! Lovely!!! I adore blue and white too - there is a simplicity about them that it so soothing. However, In my front garden I have planted a rose bush to represent each member of the family so we have everything from yellow to hot pink (it is indeed a riot of colour). Enjoy the magic of spring hon. Becks x
