{Our Lilac Orchid & Roses}

On our windowsill the lilac orchid started blooming in all its splendor. However the trailing blossoms needed to get elevated so they could fully open up. At the same time we had a lilac rose blooming in our garden. So we teamed them up together. The roses are inside a French Baccarat crystal perfume bottle. Together on our white Corian windowsill. Do you have any orchids blooming right now? 
Are they not a perfect match in color?
On top of an upside down white ceramic planter with sea shells but this worked.
Here the roses are still budding out...
Perfect buds and beautiful leaves as well.
Such a joy to look at on our kitchen bay window.
Hope you do have something blooming on the windowsill as well.
Tell me what it is you are enjoying right now.

  1. Good Morning, Dearest Mariette.
    Oh, such beautiful Lilac Orchid & Roses♡♡♡
    Marvelous blossoms, aren't they☆☆☆
    To tell the truth、I had "agapanthus africanus", but it is hard for our Japanese style tiny house to keep these flowers inside of the house. And cold rain destroyed it after having enjoyed some years (forgot to put insde of the small front door, so sad!)

    Thank you very much for the lovely Orchid flowers with roses. You always have knowledge and wonderful sense of decorating them♪♪♪
    Love you always, xoxo Miyako*

  2. Orchids are one of my all time fav's and the colour is perfect next to the rose clipping. I always enjoy the creative way you display items. And that Baccarat crystal perfume bottle, is just the right size.

    Our roses are just starting to get leaves; the butterfly garden is all a green ~ just waiting for buds and colour. Our Angel garden is doing well (a couple of winter a casualties.. a quick trip to the nursery has everything back as it should be).

    Wishing you a beautiful week-end! xo C.(HHL)

  3. They look gorgeous.
    I haven't got windowsills at home,but as I am on holidays and have bought a couple of little flowering plants at a beautiful cottage garden we visited,I have them on the windowsill of the cabin overlooking the bay. Hope they will thrive for another day then we will be home and able to plant them. I have never grown orchids,they certainly are pretty. :)

  12. Dear Mariette,

    Your orchids and roses look so beautiful on your windowsill.
    Not a lot blooming here at this time of the year, except for some little pansies making a pretty show.

    Happy week

  14. My white orchid out in the garden is blooming for the second time this year, so I am very happy. It also seems to need supporting though - those stems are quite strong. Those colors are a perfect match.

  15. Liebe Mariette,
    mit Orchideen habe ich kein Glück. Aber du hast ja einen grünen Daumen, bei dir blüht einfach alles.
    Wünsche dir eine wunderbare Woche,
    Johanna

  16. Dear Mariette
    Very beautiful orchids. You are very lucky to have this flower so vivid. I think it is hard to stick and even orchids to bloom! Your window sill is wonderful.

  18. Dearest Mariette,
    Your orchid is beautiful and I love the lilac rose. They look so elegant paired together.
    I have three on my bathroom window sill with buds. I don't know if they are blooming yet but my son watered everything for me this weekend.
    Love to you,
    Ginger
