This Week's Flowers

Bit blurry, but you get the idea. So pretty, from the farmer's market across the road.

Flowers

Every time I get flowers from the farmers market, Nick comes home and says that they are his new favorite. Of course, he said these were his favorite too. They are pretty, but given that it has been quite hot here, they haven't lasted as long as we would like. Nice while they lasted though.

Flowers

We always have flowers in the apt, these looked great, and lasted forever. The farmer's markets always have such a great selection. Lucky us.

Flowers

How amazing does this look? Did you guess it was fields of tulips? Imagine how pretty that would look if you flew over it. We've had lots of great flowers in the apartment recently, so I will start posting some pictures. Not quite as impressive as this, but still gorgeous.

Birdie

Isn't he lovely. Nick got him for me for xmas. And I was lucky enough to get roses this week. Aren't i spoilt!

Orchid

I love orchids, who doesn't. But, usually so expensive. We took the ferry to Ikea a few weeks back and got this baby. Around $12 - soo cheap, and not delicate at all. A laster.

CocksComb

I love these flowers, very wintery, and they almost look like they have been crocheted or come from the sea, but they are a pain in the bottom. They shed 1000's of these spherical beads. Drives me coo coo. I only get them once or twice a year and I always forget about the mess. The color is really intense and vibrant, the photo doesn't quite capture it.

Dahlia's

More flowers from the farmer's market.

Flowers

The latest from the Farmer's Market. We get a new bunch each Saturday, but as these are proving to be lasters, and I go to London on Wednesday, we didn't buy any this week. Not sure what they are, but they sure are pretty.

Deli Flowers

Good flowers around now that summer is almost here. Bad shot but these are from the local deli. So lovely. Wish they would last a little longer. Get ready for lots of flower and food shots over the next few months. The farmer's markets are also a great source for flowers. Lucky us.

And A Few More Flowers.

The rosemary bush was a housewarming gift from Nick's mum. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long. And the other two are the current flowers we have. The vase is a house warming gift from Philly who has just visited from London with her baby William (Willy). I took a close up of the flowers as the green ones are so pretty and unusual. Just from the deli. Lucky me.

Flowers!

Can't stop buying flowers since we've moved to our new pad (will post some pictures of the apt soooon!). We have farmer's markets all around us, so the flowers are lovely and local. Most of them. Some are just from the deli.
