{Blossoms in December with Sunshine}

So far our December month is bringing us lots of sunshine.
Let me show you some of our December Blossoms...
One of our climbing roses still was yielding us such beauties.
Shown in a French crystal Baccarat perfume bottle.
Of course, our Camellias are also blooming...
Shown inside a Baccarat perfume bottle.
These white Verbena's happily continue blooming alongside the driveway.
From our garden we yielded 7 stems with white Paperwhites, that perfectly filled this tablet with fixed vases (7).
It was a gift that I received for doing a program about Indonesia, for a Women's Study Club here in Dublin, GA.
They presented me with this precious gift box!
Love the snow crystals...
Are you also having high 60s, 70s and low 80s in your area?
We LOVE this type of weather!
That's our weather forecast, up till almost Christmas.

  9. Traumhafte Rosen sind das, liebe Mariette! Bei mir blühen auch noch wenige Rosen. Wirklich erstaunlich für Dezember!
    Das mit Deinem Vater tut mir sehr leid - ich habe es eben bei Elisabeth gelesen. Ich wollte auch nur auf den Ort hinweisen, daß es den tatsächlich gibt.
    Sei lieb gegrüßt und ich wünsche Deinem Vater alles Liebe und Gute!

  10. Such beautiful blossoms, sweet Mariette! So very nice to have these in the middle of December. They look very special in your lovely new vases, too. I must be happy with forced bulbs inside. The Camellias are especially lovely. I am sending you much love and prayers for your Dear Father. Please know that my thoughts are with you. xo Karen

  20. Hi Mariette,

    Just read your comment on my last blog post. Sorry I did not reply earlier, but I took a short blog break due to my brothers wedding.

    I hope Pieter is feeling well again? I never realised there was such an age gap between you and Pieter. Pieter is a lucky man to have such a young lady by his side :-)

    Happy to hear your father is out of the hospital and feeling better. I can imagine how stressful it must have been for you. Hurray to modern communication methods!

    Your blossoms look lovely Mariette. No more colour in my garden. Alas...

    Have a lovely week!

    Madelief x
