Spring is in full bloom

We have been having such wonderful weather here in California lately, I have been working in the garden, replanting and pruning and planting new flowers. I had to replant my tuberose into larger containers as they were already expanding past the container. Last year I had one plant with two stalks, and the other only gave me one. I am hoping for more this year. ;-) The photos are of my garden. There are lily, freesia, jasmine, mimosa, bouganvilla, and many more.

I just picked my husband up from the airport today after he was working in Hawaii over the weekend. He was supposed to bring me back a lei, but they were sold out when he took the red eye last night. So I will be ordering from my favorite place in Hawaii and get fresh tuberose stalks flown overnight from there. It is expensive, but no more than a good florist would charge for long stem roses. I think it is around $60 in total. I highly recommend doing this. You will absolutely go mad over their flowers. I order the bouquet that has stalks of tuberose and orchids. Wonderful. I can't wait...I am on their website and it appears the tuberose are not available right now. sigh. Their website is at www.paradiseflowers.com. The photo above is of their Splash of Maui bouquet.

I have lots of bottles to add to the website and promise to add some this week. Tax time is gone, and spring planting is now taken care of so I have the time to take some photos outside. Bottles always look so good in natural sunlight.

Corday Presentation

I added some new bottle listings to the website, but I don't have the time to finish listing them with details and photos until this weekend. So do check back if there are some you are interested in.

I took this photo last weekend of my beautiful Corday bottles. The large gold one in the back with the box is on hold for Ruth. But the other two are still available.
