This is so magnificent. My grandmother planted Marigolds by the doors to keep the flies away.
The glorious sunflower. So tall and proud. Feeding all the birds. When we had our farm we would plant 5 acres of sunflowers. It was truly a sight to see.
I am going to make some flower girls out of these. I love the color and the size of these.
I had to include one of the south's favorite flowers, the Magnolia Blossom. It is so large and creamy looking.
To me these are very Zetti looking flowers. I love the purples, raspberry shades with the orangy yellows.This week I am doing some flowers for you. These are old flower prints I have picked up along the way at flea markets and antique stores. Earlier this morning I was telling someone how I woke up to rain and paying bills. Ugh! The rain brings flowers and new leaves on the trees. That was somewhat cheering. So anyway I decided to give you a hint of what is yet to come...Spring. Hope these cheer up your day!
These are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing~ Love the Marigolds!
ReplyDeleteHope you day is wonderful~

Oh my lordy - you make me drool. These are so lovely! Yep, showers bring spring flowers so keep thinking positively! Have a great Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I seem to remember, far, far in the past, making some Zetti Garden Girls. I wonder if it was just loose pages or for somebody's journal? Well, these are perfect if I get the urge again. :)Bea
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth!! I especially love the "zetti" flowers!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the hint of Spring! These botanicals are gorgeous! You're right, Elizabeth, the last are very "Zettish". I love the smell of marigolds, and I love to sprinkle their colorful, edible petals on my salads too. Hugs, Terri xoxo
