In the dining room there are peonies, campanula and the sweet pea 'Elizabeth Taylor' together with some shop bought lilies.
African violets in the kitchen.
I started out with one small plant but it is such a 'good doer' that it has been divided several times.
In the sitting room there are red peonies and the rose 'Charles de Mills'.

At least I have some peonies in the dining room :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always a bit green with envy looking at your flowers. But don't worry, post them even more often. I look good in green :))
The roses and peonies are splendid. I also greatly enjoyed the previous post...I just got my laptop back and I am catching up. ♥O
ReplyDeleteDear Bozena, I, on the other hand, am always green with envy when I look at all the lovely work that you are doing!

ReplyDeleteHello Linda:
ReplyDeleteYour arrangements are, as always, an absolute delight with an apparent simplicity which underlies a natural sophistication in which artistry is combined with enormous flair.
The arrangement in the dining room is pure heaven - wonderful colour combinations.
Dear Bonnie, I just love having flowers in the house.
ReplyDeleteDear Janet, I hope that you are starting to feel a whole lot better. All these African violets came from one teeny plant, so it is VERY robust!
Dear Jane, I am delighted that you like the vase because it used to belong to my mother. It was a wedding present, made in Scotland of Strathearn glass. It has a fluted rim which seems to hold any flowers that I put in it just where I want them to be. It is never empty.
Hello Web, it's a pleasure to share.
Dear Jane and Lance, who is Linda?
Your flowers are splendid Rosemary!
ReplyDeleteI love the bowl of oranges...and your mantle vignette looks so serene.
What beautiful peonies - mine are late this year! Not enough sun here I guess.
ReplyDeleteI am really loving the peonies and oranges in the sitting room. What great color!
