This reminds me of the tissue paper flowers I made in grade school, does anyone remember those? I took this photo in Summerville, SC a few weeks ago. I saw on a post from last year that I took a photo of the same stunning bush of flowers, but a month earlier. They were darker in color and just as stunning. I did a reverse Google search to figure out what it’s called…

Breathtaking, right? Just when you think they can’t possibly come up with another floral arrangement idea, BAM, there it is in all its glory. Pure brilliance. I get so many great ideas wandering around garden centers. They just have a special touch and unique vision that can bring the unexpected together…

Isn’t it true that flowers equal smiles? They can lighten a gloomy day, bring brightness to a room and make it so cheery. Flowers are more than a beautiful, happy symbol. They truly make your heart happy. This was a spectacular bunch – stunning in every way… #thankyou

Seriously! Look at these lively pink blooms. What show-offs they are. Every one of them dancing in the window, swaying to the butterflies and the bees that surround them and look so happy. I love the bright pink against the darkness. Stunning. They look at bit like fireworks, don’t they? Peaceful fireworks!

Spectacular, right? I think Dahlias demand attention – and they easily receive it. They’re beautiful in a vase or left outside, they are stunning in every way. A starburst of color and perfection. I’ve seen them in Maine (gorgeous) and North Carolina (breathtaking), and have always envied them. I don’t recall seeing them growing in the Charleston, SC area. Charleston can get quite warm and humid, maybe that’s why…

What a beautiful day here in Charleston. Sunny and warm today. Makes for a good day to get errands or any prep done for tomorrow, right?

This plant is such a joy I cannot even begin to express how much I absolutely adore it. We planted a few in pots last year – around this time, they bloomed all summer long! Literally you do nothing but make sure they don’t get too dry (especially in a pot). Give them a nice drink of water when they look thirsty and they’re good!

Spring is such a beautiful time here in Charleston, SC. Everything (or at least it feels like literally EVERYTHING) is in bloom or about to be. The flowers are stunning, the garden stores are packed, and the need to plant is very real. Planting herbs, flowers, trees or shrubs, it makes your yard a happy place.

It was officially spring yesterday a little after 5AM EST and I thought this was the perfect photo to share. I love this flower, it was stunning. (I took this photo, but this is not at my house) – I’m not sure of the name of it, but there were plenty and they were beautiful! Very springy! The weather is warming the flowers are blooming – it’s our most beautiful season.

Well, it’s that time of year again – time to switch the clocks ahead one hour (lose one hour of sleep) for Daylight Saving Time (DST) tonight. I’ve never been a big fan of switching back and forth. Studies show there are health implications – what are your thoughts?

We were in Summerville, SC the other day and on the way back to the car I noticed these STUNNING pink blooms. I had to make a quick detour to check them out and to admire the beauty (and of course to take a few photos!) – This is so beautiful. The flowers were large and various colors of pink, do you know what this is?

The butterflies are plentiful right now. Around certain plants they were swarming at this local nursery/design shop. They have gorgeous plants and flowers and the butterflies really gravitated towards some of them. To the point they were all around my head, ha ha. Just looking out of our windows I’m see so many, all different colors – just beautiful!

Fall hit and the temps in Charleston rose. Hmmm. I think they’re supposed to drop a few degrees over the coming days, here’s hoping! Whether it’s a tad warm or not, you can still feel the fall vibe in the air. The sun has shifted dramatically. Sun that used to pour into the kitchen windows while making dinner now doesn’t come close. I love the subtle changes and I notice each one.

I love having a flower, usually popped into a small jar, on my kitchen window. Often it’s a flower that broke off while changing water and giving a fresh cut, but sometimes it’s there just because. The light streams in and the setting against the large live oak trees is magical. The bright yellow makes you smile each time you walk past.

Flowers make people happy. They just do. They’re stunningly beautiful whether they’re all by themselves or mixed with other flowers. There is no ugly flower to me. If we had dandelions I would even cut those and plop them into a cute, small vase. Who says those pretty yellow flowers are weeds, ha ha.
