Yesterday I was spoilt with wonderful flowers , lunch out, cards , texts, email and gifts.
( click to enlarge )
Knowing how I enjoy my garden and flowers and growing things all my family and friends decided flowers would be the ideal gift, for my birthday (75 ) ..and they are but I was hard pressed to find the ideal vase and place for them all. I have now and will endeavour to make them all last as long as possible. The cyclamen will probably out do the others for
lasting but I have my eye on several chrysanthemum cuttings that may grow if I'm smart.
The apricot and orange flowers are sitting in a small metal bucket inside the kité.
In the 3 lots of flowers there are:- lilies; chrysanthemums; sunflower; gerbras; roses; flannel flowers banksias; leucodendrons; carnation; cymbidium orchids; gloriosa lilies ; dutch iris; an anthurium ; a floral cabbage. and 4 types of foliage.
( so I was doing my bit to support local businesses especially florists. and restaurants ) Very spoilt!

Happy Birthday. You sure were spoiled with flowers. I hope those cuttings take for you.
So glad your birthday - and a very special one - was so much fun. The flowers are just glorious and you will enjoy them for some time I'm certain.
