Garden Party Delayed?

Yesterday I was supposed to have a tea party for some lovely friends, however I was ill, so my wonderful friend–who is also a part of this tea group, hosted the tea instead. I am so, so very grateful for this. I am also so very grateful for this group of International ladies and American ladies who have forged firm friendships with each other. I hope by writing about our Tea Group to inspire other similar groups to spring up across our country and across the world.

I took pictures of my flowers to send to the Tea group today, as I was not sure my lilacs would still be in bloom by the time I was hosting the next tea.

I thought I would share these pictures with you as well. Enjoy!!

This lilac bush is from a cutting from my Great-Grandmother’s garden–isn’t that amazing!!

My white lilac tree, just starting to bloom. The bird house is a gift from my late mother-in-law, and as you can tell–is very, very old. 🙂

Baby Apple Trees–a gift from loved ones.

a hint of color–in the beginning of the gardening season.

This is the deep purple lilac tree, pruned a few seasons ago, and also just starting to bloom–the scent is magnificent!! 🙂

These are all early days for my garden– as every gardener knows–there is much to be done–but I hope these glimples will inspire you to garden and have garden parties!! AS always,

May We Be Encouraged!!

Hope you’re feeling better, my friend. Your pictures warm my heart–how I miss lilacs! They don’t grow in Florida! And a plant that looks like them just confuses you because it doesn’t smell good at all!

I did not realize lilacs don’t grow in Florida–I can almost feel sad for you, but then again–no, I don’t–because you live in Florida!! LOL FYI I am feeling better–thank you. 🙂
