Blooming beautiful

 I love freshly cut flowers.  They are a spark of colour and fragrance in an otherwise pretty bland life. My favourite is to have fresh flowers in the bathroom. I love the contrast with the white bench and harsh surfaces. I find it refreshing and cheerful.

I love the way I feel when there are flowers in the house. There is much scientific evidence to support me.

I am lucky that my mum is a master gardener and loves to share her bounty. My house is regularly filled with gorgeous flowers that cheer me up every time I see them.

I think, because flowers are a frivolous expense, there is a sense of worth associated with them that doesn't come with other gifts. To be honest, though, I prefer flowers with fragrance and commercially grown blooms generally don't offer that.
