A recent spring bouquet,
the prettiest I have ever received,
contained three beautiful red Anemone
Five tulips
Yellow Ranunculus
and soft pink ones
Soft salmon pink
on a rainbow of my latest crocheted Mandala
A whisper of petals.
On my daily walks
I have encountered beautiful Magnolia
Such lovely lines
Both these trees are in my neighbourhood.
The Lilac is just starting to bloom
early this year.
I've so enjoyed crocheting a new
Waterlily Mandala.
I have changed the edging a little from the original pattern.
Primula from my balcony
in the traditional crown-shaped vase I use for small flowers every spring.
It wouldn't be Easter without some good dark Swiss chocolate!
Don't you love the gold sprinkles between his ears?

Such beautiful flowers and I love your mandala. How those yellow primulas match the centre of the mandala and the pinks match also! I do love a piece of dark chocolate. Wishing you a happy weekend. Best wishes, Jane :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane! The flowers all seem to be coming into bloom at the same time! Dark chocolate is my favourite! I hope you're having a lovely weekend too!

Hello to you, Sarn! Spring here has overwhelmed us with its abundance of blossom and flowers and now the first fresh green leaves are filling all the dull corners of the town too!
DeleteA lovely Easter post! Love the colors you choose for your new mandala, so sweet and springy! With all those beautiful flowers, it must have been a gorgeous bouquet!
ReplyDeleteWe are being so spoilt with flowers and blossom during this warm, very warm, month of April. I especially love all the greenery coming in now too!
DeleteOh, my! What a lovely post, Sandra... Your photos perfectly capture the essence of spring. How wonderful to receive such a gorgeous bouquet. Sadly, we had a cool, rainy Easter that felt more like November weather! But, our flowers are really popping up--tulips, daffodils, magnolias, cherry blossoms. I just love the lacy effect that the green leaves have as they bloom :) Enjoy your week! ♥
ReplyDeleteWe have been really enjoying all the flowers and blossom and the temperatures have been so warm! I hope your own weather will soon be improving! Thank you!
