Gorgeous white, with a hint of yellow and a sprinkle of shimmer!!


They have a fragrance that fills the room.

Everyone says it is so easy to do it yourself, but I never get around to it... Something about planning, I think...
I love the giant awakening from his tomb, and that butterfly bench is the best thing I have ever seen!

Oh Debbie, these are gorgeous.
I did the same, right about the same time you did, but...they are sad looking to say the least. I think they may not have gotten enough light.

Thank you so very much for sharing with us this week at The Creative Exchange.

Have a great day!

Farm Girl said...

Nothing like the smell of flowers in side. I can be blue and if I bring fresh flowers in the house, the blues all go away. I love your shots.

Karen said...

Oh, they are so pretty Debbie. I love flowers in the house at winter.

Ruth Hiebert said...

Gorgeous. I have grown them once and now I wonder why I have not done so again.

Susan said...

So pretty, if I tried that well...you wouldn't want to see the results. Glad you are better at it than me!

Nani said...

I was thinking they looked like narcissus family. SO pretty! Might be a project for me next fall...if my other projects go well this year! :)

Leenie said...

How cool to have flowers blooming in your house in January! What a great little setup. I've forced bulbs before but this looks much more clever. Nice.

Linda said...

Beautiful!! I THINK I can smell them from here!

Karen @ Pieces of Contentment said...

Wow! They have grown and blossomed so quickly. You have caught then beautifully in the light.
