I have spent four months taking pictures of wild flowers in the swamp, I have been taking photos of flowers since I was a teenager. Flowers fascinate me. After my mother died, I started keeping fresh flowers in the house.

1. Do shrubs with blooms count? No? Then, no.
ReplyDelete2. About two weeks ago, if store bought counts as cut flowers. If not, never.
3. I don't remember any flowers around the house.
4. I like carnations. They last a long time and have a nice scent. Gardenias are good, too. Oooh, star jasmine.
5. Yep. R.I.P. Mac Davis.
Shrub Flowers are flowers.
DeleteOkay, then change #1 to yes. I grow a mean shrub! I planted them and ignored them. They grew anyway.
DeleteI've had cactus die from neglect. Most people kill them by overwatering, not me.
Delete1 - in the yard
ReplyDelete2 - valentine's day
3 - yes
4 - carnations
5 - yes, provided they are not hyacinths or gardenias or lilies; their scents make me sneeze (allergies)
We often skip Valentines week, flowers are expensive that week.

ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time you had cut flowers in your house? Nearly years. (these cats!)

What is your favorite flower? Don't have one.

ReplyDeleteno flowers in AZ - none to stop to smell. I cannot remember when there were flowers in the house.
Bring home a small bundle of flowers the next time you go to uncle Albertsons. The yellow flowers WH posted recently were only $5 at Safeway.http://wickedhamster.blogspot.com/2020/10/back-to-basics-bouquet.html
DeleteMy mother said plastic flowers and floral arrangements were nothing but dust collectors and refused to have them in the house. She was right.
ReplyDeleteWise woman, raised another one.
Delete1. No, my thumbs are not green at all. I've tried and tried but the carnage was building up so I decided to leave the growing to others.

3. I don't remember any plastic flowers.
4. I love roses of course but also daisies and lilies.

ReplyDelete2. A cut branch off the service berry, I just took it to the compost Monday. I will probably find something to bring in today, on my day off.
