Happy Friday my friends~
What is it about a flower that adds such beauty and softness to a picture? Personally, I really don't like taking photos of my home unless I have fresh flowers. Not that I don't post photos of my home without flowers, but when I do, the picture never feels quite complete, it never satisfies me when I look at it.
So when I do bring flowers home, I'm always eager to photograph them as soon as I walk through the door.
One of my favorites lately has been "Stock". Their intoxicating scent and dozens of ruffly soft petals, gets me every time.
Can't you just smell them?
Wishing you all a lovely weekend~
Sincerely,
Melinda

Such gorgeous pictures!

Just lovely. Stock is one of my favorites. I've always felt that it truly deserves to be named something other than "stock". Doesn't do those beautiful blooms any justice!
ReplyDeleteMelinda, your photos amaze me. Your home is absolutely gorgeous. Even those few pictures are breath taking to me. Love the flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend, my friend.
I love your pictures and flowers. This week I bought "stock" at Trader Joes. I never realized for some reason that they smell SO good. Next week, I think I'll buy two bunches like you have. I thing stocks are going to give my orchids a run for their money!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Sue
So pretty, Melinda. I adore Trader Joe's flowers. Happy Friday.
ReplyDeleteStunning Stock! Those flowers are so pretty, Melinda, and they do enhance photos for sure.
ReplyDeleteWish we had access to the amazing flowers that you do in California.
I did pick up some pretty snapdragons today, but I can't wait until I can use some from our garden - free!
Your home looks amazing, Melinda.
Oh, and thanks so much for your sweet comment on my Tilda's World post. Come visit any old day for your girly fix. :)
Beautiful blooms! Flowers always brighten any room and smell so lovely :o) Where did you find your wooden rosary beads? Have a great weekend :o)

I too, love stock. I've grown it in my garden from seeds, it's really an easy annual to grow. It does have a great scent and the flower just says "natural" to me. English all the way through is beautiful stock!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Melinda. Happy weekend wishes from here!

Love your little chandelier... would love one that size for my tinsy bathroom downstairs. Is it vintage or new, or what I really mean is - is it "one of a kind"? Would love the link if you have one (new or vintage, it's adorable!). Sorry to ramble on ;)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Yes, I can just imagine the scent of the stock, and I now want to go out and buy some!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are beautiful. I am starting to get the itch to work in the gardens. Spring will be here before we know it. Love your pictures.

Hi Melinda!Your photos are gorgeous, thanks for the reminder to plant some Stock this year! I seem to forget from year to year which flowers I MUST have in my garden and last year I really didn't plant many new ones. After seeing your beautiful post, I am in love all over again! t.xoxoxoo
