Yay flowers for a Monday

Jane at Small but Charming is hosting a flower party today (I've got the right week this time!)

As well as a few rather sad stems of forsythia, of which I decided not to share, we have various little bottles of spring dotted around the house.

You may recognise the anemones from the polytunnel, they are now gracing our bedroom window sill.

Spring flowers are the perfect size for my endless little bottles.

I can't resist cutting blossom to enjoy inside, this particular variety only lasts a few days once cut, but what a gorgeous couple of days and then we have such pretty confetti EVERYWHERE!

Enjoy your flowers everyone.

Flowers in the house Monday

Well here we are again, Monday! Where has another week gone to?

The sun is shining, it is a beautiful morning with a thick, sparkly frost and I am an early bird today.

I have been watching Flowers in the house Monday, hosted by Jane over at Small But Charming, for a couple of weeks now and I'm afraid to say I have never got my act together in time to get any pics in daylight of the flowers in our home! This week however, I have been Little Miss Organised and so here are the flowers that I couldn't resist and I gave a home to.

 They are stunning Widow Iris, beautiful and dainty, with amazing centres. Popped into glass bottles with a touch of guelder rose on the window sill, that make me smile every time I pass them in the hallway.

How could anyone resist? Unfortunately they must be because these have come from a grower in Cornwall and he has said that it may be the last year he grows them as they are not worthwhile for him! Here's hoping that this will not be the last spring that they will be gracing my window sill.
