I recently left my job and as a parting gift my old work colleagues gave me a card with some lovely messages, a gift card to buy something nice with and these beautiful lilies. I managed to get them home on the tube in one piece (although I did poke a few people with the long stems), and they’re now sitting on the kitchen table brightening up the room.
Those that have been following my blog for a while know I love a close up of a pretty flower. I especially like tulips which look elegant and fun, and come in an array of colours. This such flower has petals with interesting pink strokes, almost making them look like bird feathers.
I love roses and the white ones I find especially elegant. This beauty is growing in our garden which I luckily can admire everyday.
The strawberry plants we bought from the garden centre are coming along nicely, the flower blossoms and the beginnings of fruit in this photo are a good sign and I can’t wait until they grow, ripen and are ready to eat
I saw these miniature cacti and remembered how much my sister likes them so decided to get them for her. Within a few days I could see how they’d grown and sprouted pretty flowers
I love the pop of colour of the flowers and the almost geometrical pattern of the sharp thorns/leaves. I find these plants really interesting, each slightly different but part of the same family.
I love how the layers of the textured petals are so distinctive and separated and make the flower head look voluminous.
My little nephew is really pleased with his apple tree and takes good care of it. These pretty blossoms should mean that he is able to enjoy the delicious fruits of his labour later in the year.
Every year in early Spring my mum visits our local garden centre to buy a range of plants for our garden, this year I happened to have a few days of work so decided to tag along. There was a wide range of flower and vegetable plants to choose from.
There were also some interesting garden ornaments; I love the giant chess pieces and the elephants and cheeky gnomes would make a nice addition to any garden too. I was also intrigued to see the old fashioned styled brooms made of straw.
We got a little carried away and it was hard to not buy at least one of everything, but in the end we chose some strawberry and pepper plants and and variety of flowers so we have a range of treats for the eyes and tastebuds to look forward to.
I really like the violet ‘bulbs’ of this flower which look like they could burst open at any time. I also like how the stalk growing tall and straight has a violet hue to match
