Friday Flowers

Its almost the weekend.

Time to tidy up the desk and head home… just don’t forget the flowers!

Friday Flowers: My roses!

I have wanted to pull out the straggly weed-like lantana that ran the perimeter of our backyard since we moved into our house several years ago.  Everyone has the reaction of “Oh lantana, why do you hate it, I LOVE it!”  Our lantana was not pretty nor sweet- it was beastlike. It overtook everything and looked like a dead weed most of the time.  A few weekends ago we finally removed every last trace of the stuff, including it’s monstrous roots (this was very old lantana!).  In it’s place,  we planted the rose bushes I’d been envisioning for several years.  I am so happy to finally have my own cutting garden!

 

I planted a mixture of white, pink and mango-ish peach roses (Secret’s Out, Queen Elizabeth, Falling in Love and Valencia to be exact).  

We happened to have two loner rose bushes in our front yard, a bright pink and a mauvey purple (I think this is the Barbra Streisand rose) that had some blossoms too.  These colors aren’t my favorites but they smell divine.

Happy weekend!

Friday Flowers: One Bouquet can go a long way!

Buying flowers is such a treat, and it’s even better when the bouquet can be split into pretty little arrangements that can be scattered around the house.

Happy Weekend!

Friday Flowers for the Fourth

Looking forward to a casual weekend…

With lots of deliciousness!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Friday Flowers

I'm feeling the need for a little color today.

Maybe that's because I painted my bedroom last night and I can't beleive what I'm about to say, but I think it's TOO neutral. What, did those words really just come out of my mouth?!? Yikes, I cringe to think what others would think if that's what I'm saying! Searching for a new "new" color is on my list today.



Have a great one!
