...nothing better than fresh flowers indoor & out...

Mary-Laure said...

KWANA - I'm sure spring will reach NY soon...

MUJER - you'll have plenty of time to make up for it in the spring.

LENORENEVERMORE - ah yes, I agree, right now I have 3 bouquets in my room and 1 in my kitchen, they bring such joy and freshness.

I love Sweet Peas, so delicate.
I remember when I first arrived in Paris, back in 1976, a friend we had invited for our first dinner invitation - and from whom I learned much about the "French life style" - had brought me a poisy of seweet peas. Every time I see sweet peas I rememeber Liliane - fot that was her name.

My garden is "springing" to life so to speak, especially my pond plants. It's been all that I can do to keep up with repotting them.

As for daffodils, it is my favorite spring flower. At some point, I would like to add it to my garden.

I'm delighted that my Big Red Kangaroo Paw is beginning to bud. It's very popular, as are most of my plants, with hummingbirds. My smaller Kangaroo Paw did not survive the winter.

Mary-Laure, the Kangaroo Paw is a plant that I've shown you along the walkway there at Paradise Cove. I'm thinking of buying a yellow one similar to what is growing there this year.

WORLD... - Thanks for sharing this memory with me... I know how you always admired Liliane.

CANDACE - I really need to learn more about plants, especially in our beautiful environment.

NANCY - you should visit me here to see plenty of spring flowers, and the ocean too. Tempted?

Bonbon Oiseau said...

gorgeous! i love sweet peas...they are my "spirit flower" i think...

Mary-Laure said...

ROXANA - the trees are always green here in California...

BONBON - I'm not surprised, as sweet peas have a frailty, a delicate texture yet bold colors.
