This week’s bouquet is a sweet little posey made with little yellow daisy-like flowers that come up in the front lawn at the same time as the dandelions bloom. They are really just some type of unidentified weed. But once the lawn is cut for the first time, they are gone, and you’d never know they were even there. Last year I paired them with dandelions, but this year I wanted to do something different.
I also had some pansies that were towering, and far too tall to be at the front of the window box. Trimming them off for this vase seemed the perfect solution. With their yellow eye, and complementary deep purple color, they made the perfect couple.
I am more of a fan of pastel colors in my flowers and combinations. These deep jewel colors seem exorbitant and luxuriant for my tastes. God must have been feeling excessively generous when He painted these pansies. They’re certainly a credit to His creative genius that knows no limits.
Ruffled like a ballerina’s tutu skirt, she looks ready to dance.
Adorning my kitchen window sill, what she lacks in size, she makes up for in color, sunshine, and sweetness.
Linking with Cathy at “In a Vase on Monday” for this week’s collection of floral arrangements.
They are certainly very frilly pansies, Cindy, and make a great contrast with your unidentified weed! I know what you mean about pansies generally though, as I certainly prefer the ones without a contrasting blotch
They are lovely, and fortunately mixed with more calming colored pansies, as I am not a big fan of the jewel colored flowers. I tend to like all the whites and soft pastels much better.
Beautiful pansies, Cindy, and they do look lovely surrounded by the small yellow blooms. I wonder if the latter could be something in the Bidens genus? It reminds me of those plants in any case. Happy Monday!
Thank you Kris. A very simple bouquet, not full of exotic beauties like your bouquets. But not much blooming here with temps still dipping into the 20’s at night with hard frosts. It’s very depressing, to say the least. A few more days and then they promise warmth.
Love your pansies Cindy. Paired with yellow they make a charming bouquet. I am about to declare some of my weeds to be favorite wildflowers–would it make me feel better about them being there? And some, like yours, really are adorable.
Thank you Susie. I guess I should think of them as wild flowers instead of weeds. That sounds much kinder. They are sweet, dainty, and only here for a week or so. Barely noticeable in the lawn because they blend in with all of the dandelions. I must try next spring to find their name and identity, as they deserve.
Lovely! Such a nice idea to put those two together and bring them indoors. Beautiful photography too Cindy!
Thank you Cathy. Not a lot of variety to pick from here yet with the cruel cold and frost still killing so many things. It still feels more like March than May.
Some gems there Cindy. Such a nice combination.
Thank you Noelle. As pretty as they are, I realized these deep jewell colors are just not my favorite when it comes to flowers. But once in awhile . . .
A very beautiful combination! I do like jewel colours and for me these are pictures to gorge on!
Thank you Katya. I can take jewell colors in small doses, but not too much. On the other hand, give me pastel flowers by the armloads.
