{White Gladiolus in Cylinder Vase}

This year we were lucky for having a bouquet of our own, white gladiolus!

This was on May 31.

Looking just lovely and I have to admit that for me white is my favorite!

The light changes these flowers all the time...

Too bad we were leaving within two days so we could not fully enjoy them!

{Hydrangeas & Mother-in-law's Tablecloth}

On May 29, we happened to have some gorgeous blue hydrangeas from our garden. So I did team them up with the hand embroidered blue tablecloth from my late Mother-in-law.

Don't you just love such blue color?

This draw work embroidery tablecloth I've had now for over three decades and it still looks like new.

A wider view into our garden...

Photo is taken from the patio in front of our Rose Suite.

This is the view from the patio, towards our gazebo and the newly placed rose arbor.

Guests do have their own private entrance here...

There are rose stepping stones towards the path to the gazebo.

Guests also can enjoy the perfume of the gardenias that bloom right outside of the entrance door.

These are the regular sized gardenias, not the large ones that I showed a couple of days ago.

May/June sure is a happy time of the year with so many flowers to enjoy!

Do you have hydrangeas as well?

{Gardenia Passion}

On May 28, I had that many Gardenias from the garden that I could fill up my Centerpiece Cream Color on Cream Color by Wedgwood

It was again like a dream...
No wonder that Annick Goutal in 1989 created the eau de perfume: Gardénia Passion!

How much I do love those greenish buds before they fully open up!

The entire length is 12.5" or 32 cm—quite a beautiful vase!

Knowing its total length also gives you a feeling of the large size of these gardenias.

Here the scorched grass is not visible; the green looks far better as backdrop.

If we are lucky, we might see some gardenias again in November...

But for now, let's enjoy them!

Again, loved to share them with my readers...
