"Where better to care for the soul than in the details of our daily lives?....The soul has an absolute, unforgiving need for regular excursions into enchantment. It requires them like the body needs food and the mind needs thought... An enchanted world is one that speaks to the soul, to the mysterious depths of the heart and imagination where we find value, love and union with the world around us. As mystics of many religions have taught, that sense of rapturous union can give a sense of fulfillment that makes life purposeful and vibrant." ~ Thomas Moore.

Bougainvillia As Cut Flowers

This is the time of year here in South Florida, when Bougainvilleas bloom. I don't normally like reds inside the house, but my magenta bougainvillea has lots of flowers right now, the oldest one....but they couldn't be seen from the outside, only behind the lattice wall, and only if you are a bird. So I cut some down along with some coleus, bought them inside and mixed with some faux, made several arrangements for the house.









































Bougainvilleas are beautiful, and as showy and bright and intense with color they can be few people think of cutting them and bringing them inside. There are so many flowers held in such high esteem and others overlooked. I think bougainvilleas are beautiful.


 




















































 

 Just sharing some beauty of Nature in Flowers.....always must have flowers. Blessed Be.

  2. Your arrangements, bring out their natural beauty...

    Nice that you bring in a touch of red... Although it is not your go-to-color, in decorating. It's wise to be able to be flexible, isn't it?

  3. Beautiful Bouquets. There is nothing like bringing the outside inside and having fresh flowers around the house makes everything feel fresh and happy. I'm still getting some roses from my garden, but soon it will be store bought if I want flowers.

    1. Sherry! how are you doing? Thank you for visiting and your ever precious comments. I wish I could have roses, but alas, the heat here is too much, yet I am not wanting to give up, I saw a rose bush on my walk and it was the first one I've seen around these parts so I am going to try.
