Favorites

One of my favorite things is to have fresh flowers by my bedside. It just makes waking up even more delightful when you open your eyes to see a beautiful gift of nature sharing its vibrant happiness with you. My flower of choice is the Tuberose. I can't get enough of their exquisite fragrance and all-white splendor!

What's your favorite flower?

  5. I love peonies. Tuberose is a favorite too but I can't breathe, my asthma really kicks in... which makes me sad because the fragrance is heavenly.
    I do love a huge bunch of peonies by my bed though:)

  19. Mel,
    what a stunning picture. I have so many favorites. I just spent the last 6 hours out in my garden surrounded by flowers, so its hard to choose. I adore white Casablanca Lillies. I love how they light up the night and have such an intoxicating fragrance...just perfect for a summer evening soiree. I love white flowers!!

    I'm off now to my cutting garden for a bedside bouquet!!

    Have a lovely weekend
    xoxo

  21. Sorry it's been so long since I have visited!
    I love almost all flowers, but I am a rose kind of gal. I especially like the scent of lavender roses-not the kind grown en masse but those freshly cut from a friend's garden!
    Have a bon week-end!

  30. I'm not picky! At this point ANY flower would be welcome. I don't know why but all of our flower vendors shut down and there are no fresh flowers in the city. :-( I'm wondering if maybe they are using all their flowers for weddings?? Either way it is sad for us!

  47. I see there are a lot of peony lovers here, count me in on those! Something about how they go from tiny balls to what seems like the center of the universe. And the scent! Ohh la la, I'll be in NYC today and will be sure to pick some up at the deli!
