Flowers

              I love Flowers
                             at Retail there are flowers that are not real expensive - $5 bucks for a small bunch but to have some for the house - fresh ones all the time can get expensive. The last time I bought flowers was for Valentines Day, 2 months ago and they where for me. I was given some from my daughter when I graduated in 2015, before that was .... who knows.

                            The flower that began it all...
                                                              my flower of love is the Tulip

                                  the yellow are cut ones                   a potted bunch that I just
                                    for my co-worker                           had to take a picture
                                                                                                    at Retail

            Tulips became my favorite when I was little my Mom said my father's side is Dutch - Tulips are Dutch, only thing my little girl knowledge knew - so that was my favorite. I liked Carnations because they are my birth month flowers and they grew just about everywhere I was. As I grew, peer pressure said that Roses are the better Flower, I followed the crowd Roses became my new favorite flower. The Tulip and Carnation fell to the way side for many years.

                                                  

                      
                                                     a little history trivia about tulips,
                                                        they where once considered:

     As I began Thinking what Flowers I love and would grace my home, Tulips and Carnations came to mind, how I once loved them. I think of Tulips as a graceful elegant flower and Carnations as a fresh and playful sort; a bit like me. I will still have Roses in my home, they lend a touch of quiet and stillness to the moment.

 

              

        My new Flower is the Ranunculus, love the many petals it takes to make the swirls. Similar to life; the petals swirled together making something beautiful. That sums up my life right now too and could be the reason I was drawn to these flowers when I bought them in February.

Yes, these are the faux ones I put on the picture frame lantern I made for Valentines Day.

  
                   And some Faux Roses, I have a couple of bushes. These where cut off the bundle to put in small containers, like my China creamers.

                I will have Tulips, Carnations, Roses, and Ranunculus everywhere in my house, I just need the budget to get them.... the fresh ones. But until then I will enjoy the Faux ones. 


       What Flowers do you enjoy?


                      until next,
