I Love Flowers


Who doesn't? This little yellow crab spider was making her home in the cosmos.






These beautiful roses are part of the garden at DD's pub just down the road from us.

This is the first time I've lived in a house with gardenia and I must say it's the most heavenly smell - I think more people should be growing them. One bloom gently perfumes a room with the most gorgeous fragrance.






I love these big buttery-hued cabbage roses that grow in our garden. The climate here is so moderate that they happily bloom through winter as well.






Only when a local horticulturist paid me a visit did I find out that these exotic looking blooms are begonias.






This shy shade-loving lily is tucked away beneath a bush next to the patio and blooms once in a blue moon!
