I couldn't hold out any longer, this week it has to be roses. This is just one stem of Rosa Grace which only needed a couple more elements. I chose a few stems of the hairy leafed Apple Mint to add as a scent enhancer, and some creamy edged Pittospurum tenuifolium garnettii. A few weeks ago I was out in the garden and noticed an appealing scent and wondered what it was. My nose took me to the shrub and I found that it was in full flower, by full I mean lots of flowers, but they are small and dark and against the dark stems only noticeable when you get in close.
I've not been posting about the books I have recently read. I have just finished 'Death with a Double Edge' by Anne Perry, and have enjoyed it very much. This is not more normal genre, and a book from my WI book club, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'm joining in with Cathy and am looking forward to enjoying some other vases too.
A lovely, sparkling display, the shape of the flowers is truly perfect and the colour very pleasing. Happy Monday :)
ReplyDelete...and what a Rose! Lovely Noelle! The color is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose roses are wonderful, Noelle. I remember my surprise when I found flowers on a Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Sheen' the first time, although I don't recall any scent. Now I need to make a trip down my back slope to see what my 'Silver Magic' are up to ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful roses, I can't read Anne Perry, too creepy!
ReplyDeleteI too don't take to creepy films or books, but this one was full of suspense and I enjoyed it.
DeleteSuch a lovely colour Noelle. The cream and green foliage goes so nicely too.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful rose Noelle. I must look out for Anne Perry books. I've not read anything by her yet.
