Lost and found

I met some friends from the Leith School of Art for lunch last week.  We walked from the school to a cafe to get a bite to eat.  Lying in the rain, on the pavement, I found a single green and white parrot tulip.  My love of flowers knows no bounds, and seeing her lying there was a bit like finding a wounded creature.  So I picked her up, carried her around with me for the rest of the day, until I got home.  I trimmed off her crushed stem, and added a little sugar to the water in the vase.  She quickly recovered, and has since rewarded me like this!
Isn't she lovely!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

A simple vase on Monday

I have just one flower in my vase this week. A simple, pretty, wild narrow-leaved Michaelmas daisy. The vase is actually a black pottery cup. I wish I could remember where we bought it and who made it, but it is a great favourite of mine. I even made it the subject of a piece of artwork several years ago. Clearly shaped by hand, it has the air of a Japanese piece about it.
