I noticed tonight that the petals of the white daffodils are spangled with little sparkles, tiny reflections of the artificial light. I didn’t catch that in my photos, taken outside in a cold light just before yet another hail storm.
The first wave of daffodils and narcissi are going to seed, but some of the later yellow ones and the lovely white Thalia are coming on now, and there are still new ones coming up – I’m enjoying the Poet’s Narcissus and some truely radical ones which came in the mixed batch.
Forget-me-nots and Chinese Forget-me-nots (Cynoglossum) are flowering and seeding at the same time, leaving me pulling their prickly seeds off of Mac the dog’s nose and out of my socks.
Osteospermum ‘Buttermilk’ survived its somewhat brutal transplant last week and although the plant is sprawling the flowers have re-adjusted themselves to face upwards, so I pinched a few more this week.
Coloured freesias are filling up the Coral Garden and sweetly scented, if not as strong and lasting as the Burtonii which are finished.
Thanks to Cathy at Rambling in the Garden, whose vase today glows with warm yellows full of end of summer heat.

It is somehow reassuring that it is spring where you are as we slip into the autumn. Love all your jolly daffodils; they are always sure to make me smile.
Seeing flowers somehow gives substance to the fairly abstract concept of seasons – for me anyway. 🙂
Sometimes we notice small details when blooms are in our vases that we would have missed when they were on the plant – one of the bonuses of IAVOM! Such fun to see your daffodils and know that we will have them in another…hmm, 6 months or so…?!
So many bonuses of IAVOM, among them just looking at some of these daffodils up close. Especially for me since I am away from my garden all week.
Yes, we forget that – sorry… ;( I have the daily joy of rambling round the garden and seeing all my blooms but try not to take it for granted
I absolutely adore seeing your spring flowers…daffs with that touch of bright spring blue added to the vase…..takes my breath away!
Just as Christina said, it is heartening to be reminded of the beauty of spring as we head into autumn. A lovely posy, which must smell nice too. 🙂
Loving your springy colors and forget me nots!
How delightful to see your spring bouquet. The blue is a nice touch!
