Floral Flashbacks
 |
| High Park, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Autumn 2015 |
In Toronto's High Park, autumn flowers and fall foliage
still exist in happy harmony, but very soon, most
leaves and all petals will take their final bow, and the
landscape that is their stage, will have its final curtain call.
 |
| Special Delivery |
And so, I took a trip down memory lane, and along the
way, gathered a bunch of bouquets to remind me of all
those times when these dainty, floral darlings delighted
me with their vast and various cast of characters!
 |
| A Mother's Day Bouquet |
This bright Mother's Day bouquet I chose for
my mom last year beautifully complements the
crockery behind it, don't you think?
 |
| Forever Fall |
A close up of one of my favourite decorative
plates, which has repeatedly presented me with
delicious servings of whimsy when I crave it,
which in my case, as you know, is constant!
Pretty petals in paintings are precious, and even
though I cannot breathe in their fragrance, they
are always a breath of fresh air for the soul.
 |
| A Rooftop Refreshment |
Fresh fruit and flowers from my summer garden
on the island whet my appetite for al fresco fun.
 |
| Scents for the Senses |
The sweet scent of narcissus in this early spring posy
also transports me to the hilly meadows of Crete,
where these wild flowers cheerfully dot the
countryside for weeks with their happy faces.
A bunch of silk blooms warms up stone and stucco
walls, as its reflection softly glows in the mirror.
Open shelving in the breakfast room back home
makes space for seasonal, fresh flowers, in
addition to the permanent pretties on plates.

| A Mother's Day Bouquet |
Ultimately, having access to flowers, whatever the season, calms me, so, when I came across this flower delivery website, I was pleased
to discover that local florists can provide stunning bouquets,
(and bundles of inspiration), to you and yours, all year round.
Thanks for accompanying me on my
floral flashback, in the middle of fall!
