You've seen all the lovely plants at the market - primroses, tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, etc. I tend to do a major slowdown in this part of the grocery store.
Fresh flowers, plants and even dried flowers will help you "brighten up" your winter days. We had just a bit of snow last night so it is no longer brown outside.
I have watered my small flower garden
out back twice lately just because their hasn't been enough moisture even though it is winter.
We might not realize there are dormant plant
bases down in the ground that need
occasional moisture even now.
These roses are dried ones:
I look at the pictures of the English conservatories in magazines and marvel. I wonder if Downton Abbey (Highclere Castle) has a conservatory and why don't they show us a lovely garden? When the Countess indicates to Edith that gardening would be undesirable...that was sad. I was glad that Mr. Moseley won the rose contest.
Hola
ReplyDeleteGracias por venir a visitarme a Argentina.
Es un honor para mí que hayas dejado un mensaje en mi humilde entrada del té y digo humilde por tus bonitas tazas violetas, tu decoración...
Una preciosidad!!!
Un beso grande.

Your dish garden is so cheerful! It really makes your table feel joyful and springy.
ReplyDeleteHello Bernideen
ReplyDeleteI love a cheery tabletop garden at this time of year.
Judith
Your home looks like a breath of springtime, Bernideen! Thanks for hosting your party.
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen. We have a sun room , but no plants. Allergies...sigh. I really am allergic to lilies but LOVE them! They are gorgeous! Your table and gorgeous flowers is a wonderful glimpse of spring!
ReplyDeleteRuth
The lilies are beautiful. I love to garden, dig in dirt, watch plants emerge, I would not survive without it.
ReplyDeleteOh I remember that when Mr. Mosely won the contest. That was another time when Violet was very wise. Your pictures are gorgeous...delightful for eyes wearying of the dullness that winter can be guilty of.
ReplyDeleteEverything is sooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lilies. I just love their fragrance and showy appearance! I was glad, too, when Mr. Mosely won the rose contest.
ReplyDeleteI also blogged about bringing plants in to my home...I guess we're on the same wavelength. :o)
ReplyDeleteHappy to be joining your linky today. :o)
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful sight for this dreary winter! Thanks so much for sharing at Thursday's Inspiration! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful arrangements!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Bernideen!
ReplyDeleteThat is just the sweetest little indoor garden!
Living in a temperate climate (New Zealand) luckily I have something flowering in the garden all year.
I realise this isn't possible in snow covered areas.
I'm going to link to your party now too!
hugs
Shane ♥
I loved that indoor garden - a little bit of sweetness at the end of a long day!
ReplyDeleteI have been into African violets lately, as those seem to do pretty well for me. I'm like you and enjoy bringing the garden "inside" until the happy day I can play in it "outside" once more!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers here are just beautiful! I am loving and anxiously awaiting the blooming of my daffodils. The crocus are showing their shining faces.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos...I needed them...it helps remind me, after such a gloomy day, that spring will return! THANKS for sharing! Love your header too!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, the flowers are just beautiful and I can almost smell their glorious fragrance. Our annual Northwest Flower Show is in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to have a good dose of Spring--I'm ready! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Bernideen. I bought some tulips a couple weeks ago, but I can see that I need another trip to the market. Love your spring time blossoms!
ReplyDeletehugs,

I love bringing home plants and posies from the grocery store. Hubby brought me some half priced tulips and roses last night and with a massive snow storm bearing down on us this weekend, they will certainly lift my spirits. Thank you for hosting your lovely party.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Oh flowers! I want I want I want! I may have to go to the grocery store today...lol.
ReplyDeleteLovely post and cause for lots of smiles.
Thanks for your party.

Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeletethats a wonderful place to set the table. And you definately brought spring in your house. Thank you for sharing.
Best greetings, Johanna
looks like spring! Thanks for sharing this at Rustic Restorations Weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe Downton moment you mention, Violet's gardening remark, stands out in *my* mind too! Fresh flowers brighten a room in a way nothing else can.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely luv this, Bernideen!
ReplyDeletecoming from the World Lily Capital, I appreciate the beauties you've offered today =)
Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteI will be featuring you at Share Your Cup.
