Today I put together a miniature bouquet. A small dahlia with pink-tinged petals. Also included are soft mauve-pink sweet peas; they are beautifully fragrant. The lovely pink cluster of blossoms will be a surprise to some. They are the blooms of oregano. This herb is not only wonderful in the kitchen but also a rich source of nectar for the bee population. Because the stems spread and are very rigid, they are the perfect grid to hold my soft-stemmed sweet peas aloft. The vase is a small frosted votive candle cup, and the seashells are part of my scallop collection from Sanibel Island, Florida. The backdrop of rugged fence borders my yard, becoming more picturesque with moss each season. Thank you for looking and thank you to Astrid for hosting this Friday-Flowerday challenge.
Dear Kathy, the scent of your bouquet reaches all the way across the ocean to me here in Cologne. I love oregano and sweet peas!
ReplyDeleteIt’s funny—your comment got translated into Czech on my end, which left me confused. You see, a blogger friend of mine in the Czech Republic—specifically in Ostrava, my mother’s birthplace—is named Katka.
I use a translator tool myself these days; it works really well.
Sending you warmest greetings across the ocean!
Astrid
Hi Astrid, Oh my, I know what happened, I probably tried to reply to a blog post in Czech and didn't notice it should have been German. So funny! It is SO GOOD to have blogger friends all over the world. Thank you so much for commenting and allowing my link to show up in your link party today. Thanks, Kathy
