I came across this basket in my shopping - Stargazer lilies and pink jasmine. Words cannot describe how heavenly this smelled. I have pink jasmine planted at the corner of the entryway to my house so that the fragrance fills the couryard. Whenever I come out of the house in the morning - I get to enjoy the scent. Love it!

…and I can tell I’m feeling better from my bout with the flu. I went out into the world today - and I bought. I found this really lovely calla lily at my neighborhood nursery. They only had the one variety - but it was so pretty, I decided that I didn’t want to wait for my order to come in to enjoy these flowers.

Flowers are so amazing - the plant kingdom covers itself with beauty that is so compelling - so alluring.  My husband Pat laughs at me sometimes when I talk about flowers.  I am always saying “one of my favorite flowers is…” and it always seems to be the flower that is currently in bloom.  Flowers are so beautiful that even the memories of other flowers pale by comparison.  And by the way, one of my favorite flowers is … white lilies
