Aren’t these so beautiful? I love taking a close up shot of the flowers.
What is your favorite flower?  Do you grow them?
I use to have a houseful of plants but, when the kids grew up and moved out I slowly weeded (I’m so funny!!) them out and now I have 3 plants total!! 2 Orchids and 1 Christmas Cactus. What about you? Do you find the older you get the more plants you want or the less?

    Wow they are so beautiful. My favorite flower is a tulip. I use to grow them but no anymore. I use to have beautiful flower beds. That seems like a lifetime ago. I have a bad back & knee now so I cant plant & take care of flower beds anymore. I sure do miss them!

    Gorgeous plants! I posted a picture of my “blooming” Lily on FB this week. Love the bulbs that come up every year.

    How gorgeous! It’s still cold here so I’m not seeing any flowers! I don’t know if I have a favorite flower. Maybe Jasmine, Roses, or Lilac? And we do grow Jasmine and try growing Roses each year. I hope that I can grow a bevy of plants as I grow older, but I don’t know how likely that’ll be. A Christmas cactus is a great plant to have!

      Ari, we have a Jasmine plant outside the front door, in the summer the scent is AMAZING!!
      This Christmas cactus has been around for so long! I do nothing with it except water it and every year it gives me beautiful blooms. Maybe this year will be the year I re-pot it??

    Gorgeous flowers and gorgeous photographs! Daffodils are my favorite flower, and I’m really looking forward to some in my garden this year.
