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

One does, I think, as one gets older.”
