{Our Fragrant Hosta Flowers}

In our wood garden we do have lots of different hostas along the walking trail. In July those Fragrant Hosta Flowers were showing their best. So we tried to capture some of their beauty for you to share...

This photo is from August 7.

Fragrant flowers must also mean that they are very sweet, looking at all those ants!

The first photo did not entirely reveal the wilted flowers at the bottom...

They last but one day!

Only two days later, now the top buds have opened into flowers.

This one had leaves in one color.

Just to give you an impression. You see some Liriope blooming and behind the big tree are swamp lilies. Here in front is a variegated hosta blooming.

Squatting down to the hosta's level you can now see its pretty fragrant flowers.

Most of these white fragrant hosta flowers are a bit lilac tinted...

Again, ants are on the flowers and buds so they must be sweet!

Looks great with some rain drops still on them.

Those buds definitely are a bit lilac tinted...

Such beauty for only ONE day!

This golden leaved hosta is on our patio as one of our pot plants.

In mid June it had these lilac buds.

Do you grow any fragrant hostas?

{Silver Repousse Pastry Server with Cherubs}

This is such a lovely Silver Repousse Pastry Server with Cherubs. Would make a perfect bridal gift or as a very special, romantic gift.

Just click here: Silver Repousse Pastry Server with Cherubs in order to go to my online Boutique.

One can only admire the talented silver smith that once created this ornate piece in solid repousse silver...
Perfect match with the beautiful hand crocheted table topper by blogger friend Susan from Ava Grace's Closet's Mama.

Yes, I certainly love to use our roses whenever I photograph beautiful silver pieces. It is such pure romance.

Together with a healthy piece of dark chocolate, filled with dried apricots, nuts and seeds, that I made myself, it displays very well.

Here you can see the silver mark which is German.
First the 800 is visible, followed by a half moon and a crown.

 On Page 21 of Johanna Gehrlein's book: Rosen-Bestecke you can see those silver marks shown in the 1st and 2nd image, resembling a half moon and a crown.

Johanna's excellent book Rosen-Bestecke, about Rose Silver flatware has always been such a great reference!

Sold out...

{Ixora}

On our patio we also have the exotic tropical plant Ixora and it looked so lovely on July 4th. Due to plenty of late afternoon showers, like in the tropics, it was quite happy!

A bright yellow color with touches of pink...

Far more common is the red variety which you already may know.

But look; only six weeks later but after a dry spell...

Looking all perked up after a generous 'drink' from the green hose in the back...

Without water there will be NO LIFE!
It is still very hot and dry in Georgia/USA...
