Last week I posted some very simple photos of a little pot of grocery store hyacinths.
The very next day they fully bloomed, so I had to take some more photos,
this time in more of a vignette.

I love that spring blooms are already in the stores here!

still following,
Aren't they delightful flowers, though? I bought a bulb planted in glass and water...in Safeway. I chose purple, and I'm anxiously waiting for it to bloom! (The roots in water are almost as interesting to see!) Your choice of white is good for the pretty pot and cup!
ReplyDeleteEvelyn, I'm sorry for the delay in replying, but we left town for a few days. Anyway, I always force paperweights in just gravel and water, and it is interesting to see the growth from "both ends"!
DeleteSuch peaceful, gentle pictures, I really love them.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Sarah!
DeleteThe hyacinths are so pretty! I love it that they're white --so pure and fresh-looking. I just love it when the flowers bloom.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking for two or three dollars some more grocery store flowers need to come home with me.
DeleteBeautiful all, my favorite is the teacup alone
ReplyDeleteI do that that thrift store tea cup!
DeleteThey are pretty and they smell good too,
ReplyDeleteDebbi
Yes, they do!
DeleteI like the tea cup alone and the last one. Bet your house smells wonderful now.
ReplyDeleteAbrianna, thanks so much, and yes, they do smell good!
DeleteSo pretty! Love your tea cup :)
ReplyDeleteThe tea cup was a happy thrift store find!
DeleteI am very drawn into your second to last photo. Love the mellowness of the deeper colors contrasted with the spring like hyacinth. Very lovely vignette.
ReplyDeleteThat one is my favorite as well, Sharon!
DeleteI love your photography, Elizabeth. It evokes peace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful compliment, Dayle! Thank you so much.
DeleteBeautiful photos... so peaceful and calming.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna!
DeleteOh, that last photo is striking, with the light white. Your red and white tea cup is charming, too!
ReplyDeleteI almost didn't post that one. I wasn't sure it was "good enough"!
DeleteOh, I love hyacinths! I can almost smell them ...
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
Jill, they are a favorite of mine as well!
DeleteSo pretty! I can't imagine a world without flowers - and what a lovely teacup!
ReplyDeleteThanks, June! Yes, thank God for flowers! The teacup is a favorite thrift store find.
DeleteI love the contrast of the rough/unfinished wood with the fine porcelain of the tea cup and saucer. And yes, the hyacinths are nice, too.

Thank you so much, Michele!
DeleteWonderful contrast between the flower pot, table top, and the fine china. Beautiful flower pot.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Earl!
DeleteElizabeth, I'm catching up on your recent blog posts - and enjoying every single one. The photographs in this post especially caught my eye. I do believe I'm already dreaming of spring -and these sweet pictures with hyacinths and the steaming cup of coffee - well, they just make me smile!
