Spring really does seem to be just around the corner here ... the birds are singing more loudly and the blossom and leaves are appearing on the trees.
This is my favourite time of the year when the garden seems to wake up after winter. Growing along the side of the roads where I go walking, are some pretty pale yellow freesias. I always pick a little posy to bring home and the scent throughout the house is lovely
How does a pansy for example select the ingredients from the soil to get the right colours for the flower?
Now there's a great miracle. I think there's a supreme power behind all of this. I see it in nature.

As I have said before, pansies are one of my favourite sweet little flowers... love the smiling faces and the soft velvety petals and all the pretty hues they come in.
Can't believe how fast the week has gone - it is Friday already!
I hope your weekend is all you wish and more
hugs
Carolyn
I hope that you have a great floral spring!! xx

Hi Carolyn, how wonderful that you are approaching spring and the pretty new blooms of the pansies. They are one of my favorites too and I will be planting them here for the fall and winter. They do so well for us through the winter.
ReplyDeleteLovely quotes you share and your photos are beautiful as always.
Yes this week seemed to fly by and here we are at another weekend and it's September!!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Hugs and Blessings
Have a beautiful spring weekend dear Carolyn , with milder winds, and the sweet pansies, and lovely freesias on your tables, how wonderful, that you can just bring the freesias home from the road side - lucky you !

Hello Carolyn, freesias and pansies could anything be more perfect? I’ve always loved pansies, their little 'faces' fascinated me when I was a child. It's going to be a while before we see the spring again, we are just going into autumn. We are having some lovely sunny days and lots of colour in the garden, but I will be glad when springtime comes around again. Have a lovely weekend. Barbara.xx
ReplyDeleteThe quotes are beautiful and so are the pansies!
ReplyDeleteI wish we have spring too, but we are very close to autumn. Your flowers are so beautiful. Wish you a nice weekend
ReplyDeleteWe are at full summer climate here. It has been sooo hot lately...Spring weather sounds a little better. Hope your Spring is full of beauty like these little flowers. Wishing you a wonderful new week.

ReplyDeleteFreesias are one of my favourite flowers and you have selected some beautiful quotes here. Spring is such a special optimistic time. We are heading into autumn and although I love to see all those autumn colours, I'm not looking forward to the shorter days!
ReplyDeleteLove those quotes and your beautiful pictures, Carolyn - I sense the joy of spring through them. Wish you brilliant sunshine ahead.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful flowers ....spring is such a wonderful time of year!
