- However frail, our Pearlbush is showing some flowers again. We had such damage after the hot and dry summer of 2011, that we are glad some shrubs did even survive.
- Our Pearl Bush Exochorda racemosa is one of them. In a previous post by me from March 2011, you can see lovely photos with more blossoms, together with real pearls. Just click on the link below this post. The above link goes to Woodlanders where it is still available for sale.
- Photo taken on Wednesday, February 20.
- Look at the beautiful blue sky as a stark contrast with this lovely Pearl Bush blossom and buds.
- Those buds do resemble pearls!
- Another blossom almost completely opened up.
- Leaves also start to come...
- Love the special sunlight playing inside this perfect tip with buds...
- Does any of you have a Pearl Bush?

- In one of my very first blog posts, see link below, I did show these Lady Alexander Rose by Queen Anne cup & saucers with some fragrant Obdam Narcissus.
- Since those highly fragrant daffodils bloom again, the few that we have..., I want to show you these photos again.
- The first cup & saucers in this pattern we did find while vacationing in Canada.
- They came from Bank Street in Ottawa and also found them at Replacements Ltd. see above link.
- The table cloth is hand crocheted by me.
- LOOK what I managed to find with those lovely Lady Alexander Rose by Queen Anne cups & saucers?
- A handkerchief that matches the china exactly and it works great as a little doily to use with this set.
- Do you also put four cups like this together? It saves space in the china cabinet!
- Those highly fragrant Obdam Narcissus are heavenly too... Makes one happy.
- For me, SPRING is the best time of the year.
- This is inside our kitchen.
- You can read the QUEEN ANNE China markings under the cups.
- Does any of you also have this Queen Anne Lady Alexander Rose china ?
