I love flowers
But I don't have a green thumb nor a good place to grow my own.
So, Shirley and I went to the End of Nowhere Flower Farm near where I live to see what they had in the way of cut flowers. The owner has this cute little stand that every Saturday during flower season she puts bouquets on the shelves for you to pick and pay sort of thing.
We'd never been so it was an adventure.
Out in the country, down a narrow winding road, farms on each side, cows and horses watching us go by. And, finally we come to the place. Isn't this just the cutest thing?
I snitched these photos off her website and they are not focused. Sorry
Shirley and I both chose mixed bouquets (sunflowers, sweet william, winged everlasting, and pincushion blossoms)
Very summery, don't you think?
I knew what the sunflowers and sweet william were but had to look up the other two flowers.
This is the pincushion blossom
and this one is winged everlasting
Did you know that? I didn't but now I do.
I wonder how long I will remember which is which!!
A fun trip Latane and a nice bouquet of flowers. It's so cheery to brighten up a room with them, and these certainly do brighten my day. I didn't know those names either but thankful I do now. Thank you and wishing you a wonderful month of June.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers! So fresh too. I had a pincushion plant which disappeared..I can't seem to grow them. It was fun to see your travels. And your lighthouse painting is so nice and pretty! andrea
ReplyDeleteI like your pretty bouquet!! The sunflowers are quite amazing.
ReplyDeleteI did not know about pincushion flowers nor winged everlasting ( isn't that a wonderful name?)
What a lovely bouquet of flowers. Such a nice way to start the month of June.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I can't have bouquets of flowers because my cat goes crazy and eats them, knocks the vase over while she's hugging it - like cat nip to her. Heck, she even eats the faux flowers! Maybe its not the flowers. Maybe the vase?
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bouquet! I think the little flower shed at the end of nowhere is as cute as can be!!
ReplyDeleteNice bunch of flowers!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun spot you two discovered. The bouquets are so pretty! (I'm glad you said those images from the website are out of focus ... I was worried my eyes were going to pot!)
ReplyDeleteYou picked a lovely bouquet of flowers. I bet they really brighten the room up:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little side trip!
ReplyDeleteEnd of Nowhere is a excellent name. Pretty flowers too!
