Flowers



I have always loved flowers.  My mom is constantly planting and keeping the yard friendly, happy.  Flowers are on the top of my list of indulgences, and I feel no dollar is wasted when spent on flowers.  Every girl deserves to have flowers, even if she buys them for herself:)


I just finished reading "The Language of Flowers."  It was wonderful, though painful at times.  I would recommend it.  A simple part of nature helped a young girl survive in a hard world. 


Here are some of my favorites;
Although I love color, and I love flowers, white flowers are my favorite.  The clean, crisp color really lets their true beauty shine. 

White chrystanemums. LOVE. So full and happy and clean and bright and...wonderful

Although the Cala Lilly is often used in sad times, being laid on graves, their tubular beauty makes them seem shy to me.  You have to peek inside to really see their greatness in its entirety. 

Chryanthemums are a burst of color.  Even white, I feel as though they fill the room.

Anything from the mum family pulls at me...

White Roses. My first favorite flower.

Lilacs only bloom between April and June.  They cover the town of Leland during this time.  I love absolutely love their color and smell.  I like to pull off a cone and plop them in water and bring it everywhere with me.

White Roses have a clean, gentle romantic quality about them.
