    My Birthday was earlier in the month and I was a very lucky girl to get not one but 3 beautiful bouquets of flowers. They were too pretty not to photograph and it would have been rude not to have shared them with you.

    I wish I could have posted the scent of the lilies as it was wonderful.Unbelievably,some of the mauve chrysanths are still going as they have been displayed in our cold conservatory.What good value.

    I hope you enjoy the splash of colours as much as I do.

    Those flowers are too lovely for words. You are the lucky one aren't you. The folks who gave them to you really did choose well.

    You took such nice close-ups and bouquet views.
    The bouquet in the last foto is remarkable. It is one that I would have chosen myself--the colour and fragrance combinations. Splendid. You must have been over the moon with those, especially.
    Thanks for sharing the foto's.

    Happy Birthday Karin! your flowers were a lovely gift. Thanks for sharing them with us. Outside right now is white, white and more white....then it is cold, cold and getting colder. Thursday and friday nights are supposed to be almost ZEROf (-13c) so no flowers of anykind to be found.
