More Flowers!








Ok, I know I said I’d show you the colorful beech tree today, but when I woke up this morning to the beautiful sights and smells of the flowers in my front room, I just had to take some more pictures and share them!

PS – you may recognize the yellow gerbera daisy from the plant my landlady gave me on “yellow flowers day.”


PPS - Tomorrow, you'll REALLY get to see the colorful beech tree!

Flowering Trees and Shrubs






This afternoon my landlady gave me the most enormous bouquet ever! It was comprised of cuttings from flowering trees and shrubs in her garden, including mock orange, rhododendrons, boxwood, snowball tree flowers, and several others for which I do not yet have a name.

The bouquet was so outrageous that I couldn’t properly capture it in one shot. Here you see several different images of the different arrangements I was able to make from the bunch. My whole house smells spectacular!

Tomorrow, I have a seriously cool tree to share with you. I’ll give you a hint: it’s a colorful species of beech tree.
