I guess I could call this color peach or coral, but doesn’t it look just like watermelon? Missing fresh flowers very much, I raided my archives for this image of a bouquet on my table from May. And don’t you miss the Dutch irises in the background, too?

Even fake flowers can look good when the light is nice. These white anthurium flowers were a pretty holiday display at the Normandy Park Cove Holiday Bazaar yesterday.

I brought these roses from my garden to my sister’s house on a Thanksgiving past. Nothing like November roses to tug at the heart of the gardener. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Sometimes the archives from the opposite time of the year are what I want to post. I guess I must be in tune with “down under.” These hydrangeas in the Volunteer Park Conservatory from May speak to me, somehow. Hope you enjoy them.

Hunting for another photo, I found these perfectly pink peonies, with their soft shadows, languishing in a folder. Here’s to the bliss of summer flowers.
