Flowers- Oct 1st

It’s flower flaunting time at Tootsies again, so why not visit her blog, and find out how it is to be gardening in Zone 3.
We also live in zone 3, so our challenges are similar. Since it froze here during the week, I had to cheat to put up flower photos today. On Monday, I went out to the garden and picked lots of flowers…one last chance for dahlia bouquets, and I was so happy I did. On Wednesday I dug up the tubers and now will store them for the winter.
There are still a few mums in bloom, as well as the lime hydrangea and a few roses.
The first bouquet contains coleus, dahlias, Endless Summer hydrangea, pink mums, and Victoria salvia.

 The bouquet below consists of dahlias, coleus, and variegated Artemisia.

Both of your bouquets are so beautiful, Millie, you definitely have the touch. Not just to grow them, but also to arrange and show them. I love both of those. We must be on the computer at the same time again, I just went over to see what my latest post looks like and there were no comments, I was gone for a few minutes and came back and you had left a sweet message. Hope you are having a nice evening.

Victoria…and Me

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
