Friday flowers

Delphinium are worth buying just for the name.

delphiniums, sink
{delphiniums, sink}

Luckily they are also lovely in their own right.

{delphiniums, light}

Lovely enough to convince me to share a rare vertical picture. (The obsessive side of me hates that vertical photos don't fill the entire width of the column, but I love that you can see the lip of the glass jar here - it's one of my thrifted apothecary jars.)

And to keep shooting as the light crept away and dusk settled in. The days are growing shorter.

They smell good too.

  2. Gorgeous photos, as always!

    Also, you know you can tweak your blog to make everything the same width, regardless of height? I can help if you need any :)

    Have a great weekend!

  14. How do you deal with the bugs on your flowers? I recently bought a bouquet of celosias from the farmer's market and I can't handle the little bugs I keep seeing on them

  16. @ HC - I haven't really had a problem with bugs on flowers. There are sometimes little garden spiders when I pick roses, but that's it.

    I did once pick up some tropical flowers that must have been a magnet for ants! I ended up throwing them out because it was driving me crazy. So maybe it's the specific species of flower?
