Blooming at chez Irons...flowers the color of my girl's eyes...
Yellow eyed Forget Me Nots...which I just love, but will miss if I am not attentive! (Love the alpine version, too!)
Fancy violets...
Common violets, but click to see the white one with speckles! I think they are cross breeding and I am getting shades of violet...
Solomon's Seal, which are not blue or violet...but I don't care!
And....drum roll...I think I am going to have lilacs this year! That is a squeal of joy coming from the foothills of Colorado, folks.
Followed by another, after a big inhale of the one fragrance guaranteed to take me back to walking to school in May in Greensburg, Kansas.
Yeah! for you! Lilac is my favorite smell in the world!
ReplyDeleteLilacs are indeed a trip back to childhood...and for me, that is quite a trip! When I was little and planning to wed, I chose the color of lilacs and their leaves for my colors! Don't know how I was going to include the fragrance in the festivities!!
ReplyDeleteBack to reading blogs again!
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have lilacs. I planted a sprig from my mom's bush 3 years ago and though the bush has grown quite large, no lilacs yet. :( I was hoping for this year, but it didn't happen. Love that fragrance!
However, the one of the lilies of the valley that I also took from my mom's yard is blooming this year for the first time!
very cool!!! I wish my eyes were that color!!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I can smell the lilacs all the way here. LOL!
ReplyDeleteIntoxicating!!! I like your blues!!! And purples...
