FITH - A Surprise

"Who are you? and, what have you done with my wife?"
That was Mitchell's reaction to the flowers that appeared in the dining room yesterday.

On Christmas Eve I cut the first camellia, so I headed back there to cut lots for the house.  Easy!
Not so much.  None, nothing, zip.  
Apparently the camellias were vortexed last week.

That's ok.  There should be plenty of hellebores by now. 
Again, zip!

That's why they sell flowers. 

The pink ones were all pale and insipid.
The corals ones looked brash and sassy, way over the top.

But, the pale yellow, white and green Gerberas and chrysanthemums were just right. 

They screamed "spring" to me.

So, home they came ... 
 
... along with a little hyacinth for beside my chair. 
A girl can change her mind, can't she?

Thanks to Jane for hosting Flowers in the House.  Hope over  there and see who else is playing.  
It's always fun!

  2. You've come a long way baby!

    Lovely and screaming spring.

    That hyacinth is going to smell delish.

    Wouldn't be a party without you Webb.
