#scabiosas

To my own surprise, scabiosas have become one of my most favorite cut flowers recently. Their delicate ethereal beauty seems to be just irresistible to me. This light pink one and her friends have been gracing our dining room table for many days now and each time I look at them I can’t help but feeling in awe of their loveliness! Wouldn’t it be great to grow this variety in a cut flower garden? Do you have discovered a new cut flower for yourself lately? Please do tell! Wishing you all a lovely day! Here in Austin it is supposed to become a gray and gloomy one with scattered thunderstorms and rain, so most likely not a gardening day. Maybe I get to quickly deadhead some of the roses and other plants in between showers. You know, that kind of ten minute gardening? #scabiosas #scabiosa #organicgardendreams #cutflower #cutflower #pink #lightpink #flower #flowers #bloom #blooms #flowerphotography #flowersofinstagram #floweroftheday #fortheloveofflowers #flowerlovers #flowercloseups #instaflowers #flowerlove #flowermagic #gardening #cutflowergarden #garden (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/COP-_9WhQRX/?igshid=1arz0k66127dx

Lately, I wasn’t too lucky with cut flowers. The daffodils I bought never opened and the second time they dried up after just one day. Has that ever happened to you? But these scabiosas are just fantastic. I have never seen this variety before but find the coloration, simplicity, and airiness of the blooms so beautiful. They could be wildflowers, just picked from the field and would be perfect growing in a cottage garden. And the best is, they lasted already over a week and are still gracing our living room with their beauty. Wishing you all a lovely weekend whatever you do. Me? I have to give our master bathroom a good clean but after that, as a reward, I will work in the garden a little and simply enjoy myself! #organicgardendreams #scabiosa #scabiosas #cutflower #cutflowers #flowers #blooms #posy #simplebouquet #smallbouquet #cottagegardenflowers #flowersofinstagram #flowerlovers #flowerlover #flowersmakemehappy #bouquet #simpleflowerarrangement #flowerarrangement #cottagegarden (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFIvcYAo9O/?igshid=5ma81idotpb5

A small bouquet of roses grown in my former garden in San Diego, California. It seems ages ago that I was able to pick lovely roses like this from my own garden... The rose variety is called Pierre de Ronsard also known as Eden and I combined them with some scabiosas. I still love this simple, unpretentious, romantic cottage garden style arrangement and I hope you like it, too! I am wishing all my American friends a wonderful Labor Day! On a personal note I want to thank everyone for the well wishes for my mom and myself that I received after my last post. It has really touched me! I am still in Germany trying to support my mom after surgery due to a severe illness. Overall she is slowly recovering from the surgery but there are sometimes setbacks and it is not an easy time. I am very thankful though that she has recovered to this point and hope that this trend will continue. #rose #roses #rosebouquet #pinkroses #pierrederonsard #edenrose #floristry #flowerarrangement #cottagegarden #cottagegardenstylebouquet #countrystylebouquet #romanticbouquet #rosebouquet #flowerarrangement #scabiosa #scabiosas #rosesandscabiosa #sandiego #organicgardendreams (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE2XPjrAH2O/?igshid=gqw66mxu42oq

A beautiful flower to brighten your day! Yesterday it would have been warm enough to work in the garden, but unfortunately I couldn’t free myself up. But my husband and I have made some progress this and last month on an entirely new garden bed to get it ready to be planted up in spring. Gardening is requiring persistence and patience and I am here for it. Hope you are having a good day! #organicgardendreams #scabiosa #scabiosas #flower #pinkflower #pinkflowers #bloom #pinkbloom #pinkblooms #flowerphotography #flowersofinstagram #bloomsofinstagram #gardening #cutflowers #dreamingofspring #delicateflower #delicateflowers #pink #ineedtohaveflowers #flowerstobrightenmyday #flowerstobrightenyourday (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY6Z0YnLSch/?utm_medium=tumblr
