bride's bouquet

On my parents' farm, we grow all sorts of flowers. Besides selling them at the local Farmer's Market, sometimes we are asked to provide arrangements for fancy events (I made all the boutonnieres and corsages for the faculty at my high school graduation).

This was my favorite wedding we ever did I think: yellow yellow yellow, with a little white and green. I even got to go and buy spray roses, freesias and gerbera daisies from a local florist to add to the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets. It was such a dream!

peonies



Sunday I wanted to buy lilacs, but the flower stand I always go to didn't have any! So I bought peonies instead. They smell like roses, and are already dying.

Sometimes flowers can look like fried eggs and tomatoes (a proper English breakfast!)


and sometimes like big puffy clouds (or marshmallows).

This is where I spent my formative years, my parents still live here. Yes, I grew up in a rose bush.
