Narcissus and Anemone Amore

An artsy version of my first bouquet of narcissus

 and anemones, this year, allows me to forever

 preserve their delicate beauty and cheery character.

 Finding the narcissus among the masses of buttercups that have promptly popped up all over the island was no easy feat!

 

But, thanks to a fruity/floral fusion, their fragrance draws you 

to them, so that no matter how boldly the buttercups beam, 

 it is only the tiny, white narcissus that are seen.

You'll find more narcissus and anemone amore here and here.

What early spring flowers have stolen your heart?

Thanks so much for visiting 

and have a lovely week!

xoxo

Tiny, Sunny Superstars

My husband gathered these pretty anemones,
in the mountains of southern Crete, while
looking for wild greens a few days ago.
Look at that beautiful, (unedited!) colour.

I placed them on the counter in the upstairs

bathroom, to complement the collection of

pink and purple fragrances and bath salts.

 They are tiny, sunny superstars, aren't they?

The heady, slightly fruity scent of the white narcissus,

(Anemone narcissiflora), permeates the entire

 floor, making it a natural air freshener.

I made a pencil sketch of the bouquet in LunaPic, 
then added some cute, yellow hearts, and thought 
this playful portrait of pretties would make a 
charming and cheery greeting card for you,
my sweet friends!

Happy Valentine's Day!
