Today's Flowers

I haven't joined Today's Flowers in sometime now...I've missed it too. If you would like to join or just drool over beautiful flowers from around the world click the rose Today's Flowers Banner to the right. The names of the flowers are on the photos, click to enlarge.








Please feel free to read the post below this one about coffee grounds and egg shells, I would love to know how and if you compost.

Both my MIL & Mother used coffee grounds & egg shells for compost ... every spring that had rich beautiful compost.

Love the florals ...

Happy New Year! May your year bring beauty, joy & blessings ...

I love these Superior Snaps! Makes me want to garden all year long. Now I just have to convince Mr. Fairway that we need to move down South ASAP. Wish me luck!

Hi Darla~~ Beautiful flowers, especially the pink gerbera! Yum. I throw all my coffee grounds and egg shells into my compost pile. The worms are insanely grateful. Have you considered a worm bin? Too much like composting maybe. I'll be interested to hear what you decide to do.

Hope you are having a great weekend. Is it cold down there???? It sure is frigid here.

Hugs,

What beautiful flowers you've shared today. Thanks for providing the names of each as well. I recognize some but not all so you've helped me gain a bit of knowledge today as well. I've use coffee grounds and egg shells in my gardens for years, though I confess I generate too much of both to put it all to use in the tiny green space I cultivate! Love your sky shots as well!
Hugs and blessings,
