Snow may be falling, but it smells like spring in my room! Ogre and I stopped at Produce Junction in Dover, Delaware last weekend and picked out pretty flowers for a bouquet. Not even vines could keep my feet on the ground when I saw the prices. A dozen pink ombre roses only cost $4, the hoary stock flowers (Matthiola incana, 'Katz Ruby') and fuchsia vase were $1.50 each!It occurred to me only yesterday that I should share the bouquet in its entirety, so I am to the right but a few of the roses had already wilted away since I took the top photograph the first day. Follow me on Instagram @AquariannArt if you want to see another photo of the roses in full bloom when I post them for Wordless Wednesday.
Also, I just wanted to let you know that I do my fairy best to post my flower hop by Friday morning, but sometimes life comes along and I can't. I appreciate your patience and every single one of your visits.

Wonderful flowers! That is, what we need in this cold grey time, waiting for spring outside... (I should more often buy them - )
ReplyDeleteI by myself know, how time flies and come back on saturday...
Have a nice weekend
Super flowers and I love the pink rose. The color combination is very pretty. Thanks for linking with Today's Flowers and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSorry Kristin but I think that they're 'night-scented stock' not fuschia but I could be wrong! Have a look & let me know what you think! https://uk.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A9mSs2vfaNtW3IwAVEBLBQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTE0cGs5cThkBGNvbG8DaXIyBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDVUlVS0MwMV8xBHNlYwNzYw--?p=Stock+Flowers&fr=ush-mailn
ReplyDeleteand just a little tip for helping roses to last longer: bash (or chew) the ends of the stalks to help the woody stems absorb the water & try putting an aspirin in the water or the teeniest drop of bleach (helps to kill off bacteria).
DeleteThank you for all the tips, Kate! And you were right again! I went to Longwood Gardens today and found the stock flowers in fuchsia. They're called Matthiola incana, 'Katz Ruby.'
DeleteGlad to be of help! Right, who's next?

ReplyDeleteThe flowers are gorgeous. How can you beat that price? $4? That is unheard of. :) Thank you for stopping by to link up at my blog. The rolls that I posted about are high fiber/low carb and Ogre could easily fit one or two into his 50 carb or less diet. :) They are full of psyllium husk fiber too...I neglected to mention that. :)Thanks for the linky!!!
ReplyDeleteAwww lovely and delicate! Love the lighting here too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, what beautiful flowers & I'd like to buy some here. Wishing you a happy Wordless Wednesday :)
