IN A VASE ON MONDAY: ITS ALL ABOUT PINK

Today, for the first time, I am joining Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.

Cathy posts, every Monday, a vase with flowers from her garden. And she invites other bloggers to link up. It’s quite a community and I follow several of the bloggers who regularly link up…so thought I would join in! And, of course, now that spring is here there will definitely be something fresh every Monday.
I will try to post on a regular schedule for this theme although with gardening weather here you may find me outside instead of at the computer…

This week it’s all about pink:

FRIDAY FLOWERS

It’s Friday and time for some flowers.

We entertained last weekend and a friend brought me this most wonderful bunch of cut hyacinths. I’ve been watching them open and develop their lovely scent, all week. Now they sit in my studio; I have the door shut and it’s warm in here and they smell heavenly!

And now, because it’s almost Valentines Day, here’s a spot of red and pink!
