All you need is a pot, bag of soil, few plants, and a camera to make a picture.
This blog is a result of my "painting with flowers" efforts for the last few years.

He always had a specific opinion on what it should look like, sometimes different from my own. He helped me to pick this one, and we planted it together. It's been 3 years ago. He is no longer with us, but the rose is thriving and reminds me of him every time I smell that delicate scent and admire the color and abundance of it's flowers. What a great way to be remembered!

It's only April, but roses are in full bloom, and they are huge and gorgeous. This picture hardly gives justice to a real beauty of this classic flower. Year after year you see them, but never get tired of them, and never can have enough of them. Somehow the roses you grow yourself are so much more exciting than the ones you buy in the store.

Roses, irises and tulips are the starts now. Foxgloves, delphiniums and later blooming roses look ripe and promising. It's going to be beautiful. I also planted all my hanging baskets this morning. One more month, and I am ready for garden parties!

I savored last pages of my favorite book where love, intellect, poetry and chivalry intertwine elaborately as flowers in a masterful arrangement. They win at the end all the dark and evil forces of hatred, envy and jealousy, leaving you with a feeling of happiness, lightness and hope, which is so hard to come by in everyday routine life of ours.
And next morning, still full of inner peace and inspiration, I turned on TV and watched the concert of young Italian tenors (Il Volo). Their romantic, beautiful songs brought a memory of a certain scene in a book I just finished. They gave me suddenly another level of understanding, and acute desire to write and share it with others. I gasped, downloaded the songs immediately and listened to them over and over again during the whole day to prolong the happiness I felt.
It was yesterday, and it was raining. But today there is sun in the garden, and new leaves, and new flowers, and new life, full of promises and expectations. Expectations of summer and warmth, of new books and new music, and of wonderful garden parties with friends.
How grateful I am to the beauty around me, whatever shape or form it takes, be it books in winter or flowers in spring!

It did feel like a blessing from the skies! The weather was wonderful, considering that it is the end of November. Yesterday, I spent more than 4 hours outside, and made some pictures, while taking short breaks between cleaning , pruning, and attending to few forgotten corners of my garden.
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Photo #1 .</span>
</div>This was just a pile of left over pebbles after recent renovation, so I decided to put a pot in the middle of it to brighten it up. I just had to find plants, that will go into it, and which would grow without much care, since it is quite a dark spot. Believe it or not, but I found completely neglected orchid, which to my surprise had a shoot with flower buds. It became the center piece of my arrangement. I also snipped few succulents, which there are plenty all over the garden, and see what I've got: a perfect garden vignette! My husband said that it is too symmetrical to his taste, but i think, that after it grows, the symmetry will not be so obvious. We will see who was right later in spring. I will keep you posted...

Now, this would not be anything special, if it wouldn't be the end of November. Doesn't this rose tree look like in spring? Perfect undamaged leaves and many blossoms. I 'll tell you why. I didn't like how it looked back then in August, so I cut it. And quite severely, like I normally do in winter. It was not a pretty picture then, but it looks like new now, when the other roses are so pitiful, that I have hard time waiting for January to prune them. Dark velvety Coleus is a lovely compliment to light pink of the roses. Who would believe that it is November?

And finally- true autumn. Beautiful yellow leaves! They are all over the wet deck. Even white, naked chairs look like they should in autumn- sleepy and ready for winter and rain.

Then I noticed bright pink cyclamens and chartreuse leaves of the potato wine below it. I had to take a picture.
