Hyacinth Not Bouquet by Janice McFarlane

I feel spring is just about making an appearance now. Its my favourite season, new life, new beginnings, buds appearing and beautiful spring flowers. It seems to have taken ages to get here, we seem to have had non stop rain or just dull cloudy days, so its nice to see a bit of sunshine with some warmth. In the village where I live the roadside is always lined with beautiful daffodils and in the garden beds outside the bungalow weve had crocuses, tulips and now hyacinths. There were a few which had flattened out and broke at the stems so it cut those and put them in a vase, the fragrance was beautiful, better than any air freshener. There still was a lot very array in the flower beds and I just had to take a picture.

Mothers Day by Sue Way

I was spoiled by my kids this Mothers Day. My son sent me a couple of gifts. A tin of biscuits and a giant Toblerone! And of course, a comical card. My daughter gave me a pretty heart-shaped cake, an orchid, and another fun card. As it was our granddaughters 15th Birthday on the same day. We all went out for a fab lunch in our favourite cafe, which does VERY generous portions!

Garlic Vine by Vicki Avcin

The garlic vine that is on the fence with our neighbour never fails to deliver when its in bloom. First the flowers start off as a very dark purple, then turn to lavender and then go white. When all three colours are on at once it is spectacular. Its a fierce climber and as well as being along the fence, it has climbed up the trees right to the top (about 40 feet) and puts wonderful colours amongst the greenery. The flowers have no scent but if you crush a leaf you get a hint of garlic smell. It loves tropical and sub tropical regions and hailing from northern south America it is used by people in the Amazon as food and for healing properties. It is also considered to ward off evil and bring good luck. As for the western world it has been used in herbal medicine. What a pretty plant……..unless you are a vampire of course! This weeks designs are a couple from my Watercolour Floral and Cats designs
