Floral Friday

I don't know about anyone else but this week has disappeared faster than ever for me. It really does not feel like today should be Friday but I am not going to complain because 'yeah it's the weekend'! Before I began blogging (was there ever a time!) I hadn't really noticed peonies and just how beautiful they were. However, since I have seen such stunning pictures around online I knew I had to have some of my very own this year. I am still waiting for the ones in my garden but I was over the moon when I saw them for sale this week when I was doing my food shopping.

So this week I have five gorgeous brilliant pink peonies sitting on my kitchen table to brighten the grey days we seem to have been having lately. For this weeks 'Found Flowers' I have chosen a stunning image by the very talented Mary Swenson and her work for Project Wedding. I had a little delivery of some plants this week and one of them was a white Sevenbark hydrangea just like in her image below. I think I also see some white scented stocks, which are another favourite of mine at the moment. I love this image; it so wonderfully provokes images of warm Summer lunches, don't you agree?

Plans for this weekend are once again very weather dependent but hopefully I will be able to spend as much time as possible outside. How about you, what are you going to be up to? Don't forget that tomorrow is also the 12th, so if you want to join in with '12 on the 12th' get that camera battery charged, primed and ready to snap away all day.

Happy Weekend!
