First Bouquet from the Flower Garden

H cut our rose bushes way....way.....way back this year!  When he did it,  I wondered if they would die....but they didn't....lol!  .   In fact, they came back more beautiful than they have ever been.   He researched how to trim rose bushes in the spring on the internet...followed the directions,  and they look wonderful.

I have the small table in the kitchen set for me to have a cup of tea and a snack later this afternoon.    H won't be here to join me as he has jury duty.
I had so much fun going all around the yard cutting flowers.    This year,  I have a wildflower garden for the first time.   I cut some pink and white babies breath for my bouquet.
I found this pretty plate at the yard sales over the week end....$2.50,    I am using it for my snack today,  but I have plans to attach silverware to the bottom of it and hang it in the yard.
I cut yellow, peach, and white roses......purple geraniums.....I even added some fennel to my bouquet.
I will sip my tea from this Royal Albert cup.....I don't have the matching saucer,  so I just picked out an odd one that I really like!
The tea pot is a yard sale find....$3.
 
My bouquet is a mix of flowers that were blooming in the yard....white dianthus,  and I clipped some asparagus fern to use as filler.
I have a few daisies blooming,  but the stars of my bouquet are the gorgeous red roses!
A fresh bouquet makes the house smell wonderful!

  4. What a beautiful bouquet you have. I bet it smells wonderful..
    I read your last post and my was I captivated by those homes.
    I didn't realize Lubbock had Victorian homes. I told my husband
    to take me there this summer after looking at your beautiful tour.
    Loved it.

  6. so so beautiful. I don't do well with roses in my yard; 90% of it is in the shade and the spot that gets sun most of the day has tomato plants. Thanks for sharing your bouquet. happy Monday

  22. Beautiful bouquet Penny! I will be cutting one for a party I am holding in my garden on Tues. I like the idea of using Fennel. I have some dark Fennel that might look lovely. My roses are just starting to bloom. They took a hard hit this year. I lost two and had to cut the others back to nothing. Isn't it amazing how things bounce back? Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
