It's That Time Of The Month

Inspired by Shelley's dahlia post I was about to run outdoors and cut myself a big bouquet of what's blooming in the garden, mine and my neighbor Nelda's cause she's the one with the dahlias......when it started raining.

I attempt to bow to the Universe whenever possible, so I took a hint and let her dahlias be.

Luckily this exercise in futility reminded me that Monday is, could be, should be Flowers In The House.

August was a no go due to earthquakes and hurricanes but mainly vacation.

The only flowers that I have in my house of plasterwork/ painting/ furniture covered with a shroud-again, is a tiny vase of berries.

But I do work in a flower shop so  I can assuage my appetite with a bit of digital fall.




(I'm sorry Miss P., that is a gerbera daisy, but we have customers who can't live without them)

So give a shout out if you'd like to join in the fun on Monday.

And if you're new to us and our global floral chain here's a previous post to check .  Hope you'll invite us in to your home.  Be it autumn or spring in your neck of the woods, say welcome with flowers!

  1. Hello Jane:
    Although we should never consider Gerbera to be amongst our favourite flowers [and there, clearly, we are at one with Mss P], this arrangement is positively ravishing for all of its warm and vibrant colours and for the way in which it mixes fruits, flowers and foliage to such good effect without in the least looking at all contrived. We love it!

  7. Well I have just covered that gerbera on screen with my gerbera coverer and if anything the arrangement looks even better without it. Are gerberas the legwarmers of the decade? Or indeed the previous decade?

  13. I'd have found it very very hard to let the dahlias be. As they're not in season here yet, and they are my most favourite flower, maybe your neighbour will let you pick one or two so that i can live vicariously through them!!

    I'd love to join in on Monday!

  16. I have also grown to loathe the ubiquitous gerbera. In South Africa we call them Barberton daisies, after the town in Mpumalanga, a province with a subtropical climate, where they were 'discovered' and named (by Robert Jameson - they are called Gerbera jamesonii)- they grow like weeds in flower beds, there :-)
