Bella Blooms

Today's featured flower takes inspiration from our recent visit to the Grand del Mar in San Diego. Susan and I were wowed during our 3 day visit to the property; from the carnival welcome dinner to the tour of all the amazing spaces to host a ceremony and reception to the fabulous sail boat trip aboard the America. The Anemone was a featured flower on all the arrangements throughout the trip, and I had to learn more about them.

I had always thought that the Anemone (which is a poppylike flower from the Ranunculus family) only came in white...boy was I wrong. They come in a multitude of colors and each one is just prettier than the next; pink, red, purple and even blue!

Hope you enjoy these beautiful shots as much as we enjoyed our stay at the Grand del Mar!

Bella Blooms

What a glorious Sunday we had in Southern California, after yet another day of rain, Sunday opened with clear blue and sunny skies. I knew it was the perfect time to pick up my gardening tools that have been hibernating all winter. As I began to prep my flower beds and vegetable gardens for spring plantings, I was disappointed when I realized that none of my tulips had bloomed this year. The hyachinth, daffodils and many many more were there, but no tulips. Paying homage to one of my favorite spring bulbs, I leave you with lots and lots of lovely tulip images.
