I have a variety of flowers in pots around the house. I always love the red and very patriotic looking geraniums in the summer.
My son gave me the purple and pink petunias for Mother's Day. Love the gorgeous colors.
And since I took this photo, the roses are in full bloom. I didn't even prune them last year, hence the dead rose hip from last year. Just love the colors in June. No wonder so many people get married in June. The garden flowers are so pretty.
I've been picking the weeds in the yard and putting them in little jars around the house. They may be called weeds. But to me, they are beautiful. Nutritious too! Before the flowers bloom, I literally eat the dandelions, make creeping charlie tea, and mint tea. Yes, we have tons of mint. It is quite aggressive and will take over if given the chance. I'm okay with that. I love mint. I used to have some little containers like porcelain creamers and tiny vases. I can't seem to find them. But with spring here and summer not too far off, I plan to find some little vessels for holding the tiniest of flowers. I think I may press some...
I found these coral colored roses and couldn't resist taking them home. It's March 15 but the whole Eastern Seaboard is in a blizzard and we are below freezing with snow here in Chicago. We need some color in the house!
And this English teapot makes the perfect-imperfect vessel.
Look for possibly some coral rose paintings coming soon.
