Last week I posted about the “Touch of Fragrance” bouquet we bought. Today, the Asian lilies were opening to lend their sweet fragrance to the mix along with their beautiful appearance. Click on the image to enlarge.

A Touch of Fragrance
Thursday is our usual day for grocery shopping. Today, as usual, included a stop at the flower concession to pick out a bouquet for this week. The name of the bouquet of roses and Asian lilies is “A Touch of Fragrance. When the roses and lilies open up over the weekend (I hope), the area around the vase should smell really pretty.

A Marjan Salmon Pink Rose
We went grocery shopping today. While we were in the floral department of the supermarket, I saw these beautiful roses. The tag says “Marjan.” I did an internet search and found a description of Marjan roses at FiftyFlowers.com:
A fresh salmon orange rose, Marjan has a slender head with a high petal count that fully opens into a classic bloom. Its color is unique, and often described as a dark pinkish-orange. For a fiery effect, combine this rose with any hot or light pink wedding bouquet, table centerpiece or flower arrangement.

Flashback – The Dahlia Show
We attended a dahlia show at the South Coast Botanic Garden in Torrance, California in August of 2009. We were browsing through some of the old animated slideshows and thought that this one would be welcome in the wintertime when dahlias are dormant.
Orange Gerbera Daisy
Now that the Christmas decorations are all taken down and put away until next year, I needed something bright and cheerful in the great room vase. So, I bought a handful of some yellow and orange Gerbera daisies and some white tulips. They look very nice in the vase. Click on the image to enlarge.
Bishop’s Cap Flower
Not much to post about following Thanksgiving but this nice flower opened on the bishop’s cap barrel cactus in the courtyard. We still are having second spring here. 80° and blue skies. We’re all wearing shorts like it’s summer. 🙂 Click on the image to enlarge.
