I do not understand exactly why kids always draw a flower with a hearth in the middle and some leaves grouped around it. there are not many flowers which look like a kids idea of a flower. when I look around in the garden I can hardly discover a 'normal' flower:





well... okay then, there is a kids flower in the garden:


and it is a beautiful one and my favorite!

sorry, aroma is not included

snuff snuff snuff.... what a lovely odour around my nose. it is hard to tell which flower smells the most. happily for me they all spread their aroma at different times of the day.

the rose smells during the day with a very delicate sweet scent.

the jasmine spreads her odour at the end of the day when the sun sets with her last sunbeam.


and the 'kamperfoelie' (english name unknown) smells late at night at the very end of the day when the night falls. sorry: I havenot found the button in my blog program to include aroma's!

a happy bunch

Look at this bunch of flowers: these peonies are so over the top, in size and in color in everything. I love them. They chear up my home and my mind. Everytime I look at them I think what an absolutly pretentios fellows they are, but all together they make a happy bunch in my home!

vergeet mij niet.....!

en ja hoor, alles bloeit weer eens tegelijk: de prunus met de veel te overdadige roze bloesem, alle tulpen, de viooltjes, de clematis. blijft er nog wat over voor de rest van het jaar? moet dat nu allemaal tegelijk? Ja dat moet, ieder jaar weer.

toch snap ik ieder voorjaar wel waarom die kleine, maar prachtige bloempjes vergeet-me-nietjes heten. in die schreeuwerige overdaad mag je dit toch niet over het hoofd zien? Vergeet mij niet..vergeet mij niet....!
