Since I already have the great room vase filled with Asian lilies, I brought the other vase with a dozen of these beautiful Vendela Roses into the office. We have often bought this variety of creamy white roses. So pretty. Click on the image to enlarge.
The lilies we bought last week have opened up and to my delight, they are HUGE. The span across the petal tips is about nine inches. Like lilies on steroids, or something. I wish we could transmit the wonderful fragrance of these pink beauties over the internet. Click on the image to enlarge.
All four of the amaryllis flowers on the first stalk are now open. I had to wait for some sunshine to take this picture since it was raining this morning. Click on the image to enlarge.
Two of the four amaryllis buds opened today. These are very bright red in color. After these have opened and are gone, there is another flower stalk on this plant with more red flowers to come! Click on the image to enlarge.
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.
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.

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.
