Spring flowers....


Mini daffodils potted up in an old soup tureen.......



In a white pudding basin......


In a small gilded tureen.......


Blue hyacinths in a dinky zinc bucket......

Why do they always start to keel over as soon as they come into the house?
I often end up cutting them off and putting them in a jug as flowers.




The little cradle from a previous post.... now resplendent with cheap and cheerful primulas........



Finally a vase of small headed tulips .....so delicate.



Its the 1st of March today........
can we safely say......
that Spring is on its way.......?

    Ooh, don't jinx it! Lots of lovely flowers. My hyacinths have a habit of tumbling over too, they look so lovely in their little tea cups but I might follow your lead and jug them up instead x

    Oooh, your home must look - and smell - lovely with all those bulbs! Love the containers! I usually prop my hyacinths up with chopsticks! - not very elegant, I try and put them behind! Abby x

    I say "white rabbit" three times.... (maybe that makes me a bit more crazy than Helen?!).
    Lovely pictures as always, hope you had a good day on Sunday

    We have a very heavy frost this morning (Wednesday)! I love all your unusual planters - I need to go through my cupboards to see what I could use!

    All my hyacinths have died before they have flowered this year, such a shame. Think I have the house too warm!! So lovely to see these Spring flowers.

    Isn't it 'pinch, punch, white rabbit'? This could be a regional thing :) The planters look so beautiful but I think my favourite pic is the one of the elegant looking tulips - they are such a proud little flower - they make me feel sad when they droop. x x x
