One of my favorite things is to have fresh flowers by my bedside. It just makes waking up even more delightful when you open your eyes to see a beautiful gift of nature sharing its vibrant happiness with you. My flower of choice is the Tuberose. I can't get enough of their exquisite fragrance and all-white splendor!
What's your favorite flower?
Too many to have one fave but for a start....roses, tulips, hydrangeas, pansies, sweet peas, lilac, peonies...Enjoy your weekend with your beautiful blooms, xv.
ReplyDeleteWhat am amazing image...love love the beauty! Just realized i have not added you to my sidebar so off to do just that! Have a wonderful weekend! I will also check those favourite things out!!!
ReplyDeleteI love peonies, Mel, but they are hard to come by. Tuberoses are so beautiful and fragrant, too. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletei love orchids and daisies. i wanted an orchid tattoo but then i realized people would think it was something else...lol.
ReplyDeleteI love peonies. Tuberose is a favorite too but I can't breathe, my asthma really kicks in... which makes me sad because the fragrance is heavenly.
ReplyDeleteI do love a huge bunch of peonies by my bed though:)
How beautiful.. Fresh flowers are beautiful..
ReplyDeleteI love gerber daisies and peonies.
ReplyDeleteThat was a fabulous list over there - were all those your photos? Just gorgeous!
"I feel myself transformed into a bee in seeing all these flowers. I suddenly, a desire to browse"... Bookman ...
ReplyDeleteyou are so right. I love having them everywhere in our house. my favorite flower is the gerbera daisy. they always look so happy!
ReplyDeleteTuberoses and lilies are always a favorite of mine. And I peeked at your list and now want some lovely champagne coupes. They are gorgeous.

I love gerber daisies--they're always so fresh looking and the colors are the best part. Bright pink, deep red, orange. Love!
ReplyDeleteI'm most definitely a Peonies gurl...Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMel,
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning picture. I have so many favorites. I just spent the last 6 hours out in my garden surrounded by flowers, so its hard to choose. I adore white Casablanca Lillies. I love how they light up the night and have such an intoxicating fragrance...just perfect for a summer evening soiree. I love white flowers!!
I'm off now to my cutting garden for a bedside bouquet!!
Have a lovely weekend
xoxo

That is such a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered your je'aime pillow for our nursery and I can't wait to get it! Your shop is so lovely, and I wanted everything in it!
Lovely bedside idea!
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been so long since I have visited!
ReplyDeleteI love almost all flowers, but I am a rose kind of gal. I especially like the scent of lavender roses-not the kind grown en masse but those freshly cut from a friend's garden!
Have a bon week-end!
Peonies for me! I love poppies too.
ReplyDeleteOh such a nice picture to start the morning with!
ReplyDeleteI just love hydrangeas, old-fashioned roses, peonies ..... just for starters.
Have a lovely weekend my dear.

ReplyDeleteI love a large bundle of white lilies and white roses. So simple and surprising together.
ReplyDeleteLove the list!
Cheers.

Beautiful image to start my weekend. I love them all. And such a lovely reminder for me that spring is on it's way here soon. Have a great weekend. x Julie
ReplyDeleteOh Dalhias. I'm so happy when they are in season. But I don't think I could ever pick just one favorite flower.
ReplyDeleteThat's a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCOulours, flowers! YES!!!!!!
I'm not picky! At this point ANY flower would be welcome. I don't know why but all of our flower vendors shut down and there are no fresh flowers in the city. :-( I'm wondering if maybe they are using all their flowers for weddings?? Either way it is sad for us!
ReplyDeleteI really love hydrangeas and peonies but really I have not met a fresh flower that I do not love.
ReplyDeleteI love Endless Summer Hydrangea and Freesia-with their spicey scent. Going over now to see more of your favorites. Have a sweet weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love photos like that. It seems like I cant take enough of them.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!It reminds me of the flower markets in Sydney...my 2nd 'home' :o)
ReplyDeleteoh i love tuberoses and i love waking up to flowers! happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove the scent of tuberose--one of my faves. Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI love all kind of flowers ... I will say I have a specila liking for peonies and hydrangeas ...

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Favourites. You are one of mine. I have left you a little something at my blog. x Julie
ReplyDeletePeonies and hydrangeas for different reasons.... I also love the fragrance of gardenias! x
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of flowers by my bedside...I hadn't thought of it. I love white lilies, peonies, runuculous, and lavender. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend :)
ReplyDeletei like tulips and gerbera daisies, but really i'd take anything!!! this is a gorgeous shot, i wish we had a market like that in athens.
ReplyDeletehi - you asked about Sally Wheat's daughter's linens - here is the link: www.lushlampshades.uk.co
ReplyDeleteSally thinks!!!
Such a beautiful photo. Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove this picture. Makes me happy just looking at it!
ReplyDeleteI love every single thing on your list. Absolutely perfect. I just have too many favorite flowers to list. During the summer I love sunflowers. They are just so strong and happy. Hope you had a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteI see there are a lot of peony lovers here, count me in on those! Something about how they go from tiny balls to what seems like the center of the universe. And the scent! Ohh la la, I'll be in NYC today and will be sure to pick some up at the deli!
ReplyDeletesince i moved to Spain, it's the tuberose which win my heart in summer, also because they're my boyfriend's favorite
ReplyDeletebeautiful pic !
I can't remember the last time I had fresh flowers. As for a fave, I'm pretty easy to please - I'll take anything!
ReplyDeletethat's a really hard one, but i'll have to say peonies, lilac + sweet peas.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo.
ReplyDeleteMy very favourite flowers (which I'm a tad obsessed with..) are hydrangeas. I also love roses, peonies and tulips, well I like quite a variety really. :-) I adore flower arranging for my room and house.
