Friday- Flaunting my Flowers

Tootsie, at http://tootsietime.blogspot.com/ is hosting a weekly chance to "brag" about our flowers. We had a very cold season so my plants are very feeble this year,but here goes:
I have planted the pots with basket stuffers and the daisy-like flowers fit that category.







Mountain Viburnm with white flower clusters





Lots of violas which self seed.


Lovely purple iris


A dwarf dahlia
Be sure to stop by Tootsies and see the other flowers.

How pretty everything is. I especially love violas. They have the sweetest scent ever. Have a great weekend.

What fantastic flowers to flaunt! The purples would be perfect for Purple Passion Photo and the Yellows for Mellow Yellow Monday ... and ALL for Today's Flowers ;--)
Hugs and blessings,

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
