Friday flowers

I picked up this pretty little wildflower-y bouquet at TJs this week and decided to split the three components into separate bottles.

friday flowers - aster and such

I know the yellow flower is aster, but I have no idea what the blue and purple pretties are. They remind me of a country roadside in summer.

I can feel summer fading already, and I'm torn between loving the transition and feeling a little sad. Of course, you never know around here. We'll probably get hit with a crazy heat wave in November and I'll be shaking my fist at the sky. Southern California is so exciting that way.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

  1. Lovely- and a nice way to spread the lovliness around. The blue flowers might be delphinium. Happy weekend to you.

  2. The yellow is Goldenrod (I think). The blue ones are delphinium and the purple ones are some sort of Campanula commonly called Bellflower.

    All of them are beautiful.

  4. well there you go with the names. :) I love wild flower bouquets and I wish we had a TJs here...instead we have Fresh Market and they've been stuck on roses, sunflowers and mums. Nothing exciting.

    have a great weekend.

  8. I always feel a little sad to see summer go, but also so gosh darn excited about fall. It's such a lovely season.

    Happy weekend, friend.

  9. Oh, I know that crazy CA weather. It seems like Fall is here, then the Santa Ana winds come, and it changes everything! At least there will be less fires...

  11. For my bday, I just received a sweet bouquet of brilliant blue-violet delphiniums mixed with 2 calla lilies, red cockscomb & trailing green things. A funky combo but love it. Also a fan of splitting up grocery store bouquets to spread around the house. I love seeing the corners of your sweet home-good weekend to you too!

  12. The yellow is in the aster family, but it's called solidago. The light blue is delphinium, and the purple is campanula, often called canterbury bell! All are lovely in your little bottles!
