White bouquet

 I was admiring a beautiful bouquet today. 


How amazingly diverse are flowers?!


Even when you consider all the variations of white flowers, there's so much creative beauty in the arrangement and number of petals, their size and shape, their other components such as leaves, stems etc...


Whether it's six petals or multiple petals, aren't they just gorgeous?!

Hi! I'm Alice Schroers and I love flowers. My appreciation of flowers first began just under a decade ago when I saw my first shrimp plant.

What a fun flower! I hope you'll enjoy this blog as I use it to remember to enjoy the small things.

Their Winter Wonderland display was rather magical - glittering chandeliers, sparkling icicles, soft white 'snow' and bunches of beautiful flowers amidst white magnolias and larger-than-life painted poppies - but my favourite part of the Grounds was actually the Potting Shed. As I rounded the corner to leave the display I found a very cute sign which read "Please wait to be planted". It was for visitors to the restaurant, but today it felt like a very apt moment as I'm between locations, waiting to be planted, just like the potted plants around the front counter.

So if you happen to know the scientific names of the flowers I am posting, please feel free to comment! I think this is a type of wattle, but for the moment I'm just going to put it out there that I love this little flower because of its cute fluffy pompoms of yellow happiness!
