Flowers in the house...........

Linking in with Jane at Smallbutcharming for "Flowers in the house" for March -

Hellebores doing well in the garden, so brought a few in and popped them in this Moroccan jug -

 
Such pretty, shy flowers, aren't they?
 
 
Greeny-pink roses from Mothers Day on their last legs now, but I rather like them at this stage - all softly fading, like aging dowagers wearing too much powdery make up! -


 
Daffodils - large and tiny - all over the house - so cheerful! -
 


 
And a pretty primula, in a pretty pot -
 

 
Have a lovely, flower-filled week!

  1. You've got it all going on.

    Love the hellebore and that pitcher.

    And yes the roses are so sweet when they are about to collapse like a marshmallow on a grill.

    is that too American a reference?

    Thanks for joining in the party.

    xo Jane

  2. Beautiful flowers, sometimes I think my house looks like a florists, but you can never have too many really, can you?

    Have a flower filled week!

  3. The hellebore and pitcher are very lovely, and the fading roses are flat out luscious. I have a weak spot for that particular shade of pale pink with its hint of green, too. Gorgeous, all of it!

  6. I agree, you can never have too many flowers around the house. Each one of yours are just so very lovely. Love the helebores and pale roses.

  7. Our house seems to be too warm for flowers - would love more around the place but as I look out of the windows I do see the daffodils and snowdrops so I will have to make do I guess xxxxx

  8. Fading pink roses from your recent Mother's Day... a lovely reminder. The daffodils, hellebores, and the pretty primula are just right... never too many flowers in or out of the house!

  9. Morning Abby! I read your comment last night and I couldn't figure out what to do or where my email address was on the blog - it used to be on the profile page but doesn't seem to work now! Once in bed I figured what to do. If you send me a comment with your email address in it, I won't publish it on the blog, but will be able to email you. Hope that works!

  11. Hello Abbey, all your flowers are lovely, especially the Hellebores. I love your stag and little birdies too! Unfortunately you have just reminded me that I was supposed to be linking to Jane too (whoops!)
    Many thanks for your visit and lovely comments. We had a lovely weekend thank you, as I hope you did too? Sorry for my late reply. Linda x

  12. oh that's made me want to rush out and pick some flowers! I love my garden but don't bring flowers in enough. I'm going to try harder! Very fond of Hellebores, and you're right, they are rather shy - bowing their heads and hiding behind leaves. Great to show them off, and they look lovely in your Moroccan jug. Gorgeous photos x

  13. The hellebores are gorgeous, what better place to enjoy them close up. How long do they last indoors?

    I love your roses too. Perfect colour!

  14. Hi - the hellebores don't last very long indoors - I put them in quite warm water for a few mins first, then cold water, which helps - but they are pretty droopy!

  15. Gorgeous flower pictures, and I love your descriptions of the hellebores being shy...that's just how they look, turning their heads slightly away......and the soft roses like powdered pink dowagers...lovely :)
