I
love cut flowers for the house. I know
that pot plants are more sensible but there is something about a bunch of
flowers which makes me feel wonderful.
The
trouble is that if I am not careful my purse suffers. Most of the time if I buy flowers I buy
alstromeria because they are not too expensive and they last well. I also buy spray chrysanthemums, (especially
white ones) for the same reason and one bunch of chrysanthemums makes several
vases.
Yesterday
when I was in Tesco I saw these glorious irises – the photograph doesn’t
actually do justice to their colour. And
they were in the Reduced For Quick Sale bucket – reduced from £3 to 95p. Irresistible!
What a pretty bargain - lucky you! Jx
ReplyDeleteThe irises look stunning!
ReplyDeleteI like this colour very much.
Ah Poirot, I'm sure you would grow wonderful irises and would not have to resort to RFQS!
DeleteThey look BEAUTIFUL! There's a little tip to make flowers last longer in vase. Put a tiny drop of dish-washing detergent/soap/or even bleach to the vase together with water and it shall be able to last a little longer! I do that once every few days, not everyday though.
ReplyDeleteThese irises bring back memories -- my mother used to grow beautiful ones in addition to peach colored cannas. I always loved the irises best.
