flowers in the country house


Country lane wildflowers:

daisy, forget-me-not, crown vetch, queen anne's lace and birdsfoot trefoil.


Forget-me-nots--tiny perfect blue with yellow center.

(like starry nights and  Cinderella)



Birdsfoot trefoil, warm yellow, delicate and charming.

 I had to look it up-- 
I thought it was in the pea family, and it is. 
What I didn't know is that it is high quality grazing feed for livestock.

Pretty and useful.


Is the cat grazing?


Yes, I love the new country kitchen.


Ferns in a mustard color jug started in the dining area.



Then moved to my bedside table.

Ferns are a non-flowering plant,

but Jane is open-minded and
I don't think she'll kick me out of Flowers in the House.
Go see for yourself.

Jen

    Wow Jen, this is quite a begining to FITH.

    I love each and every flower, vessel and photo in your country house.

    And look at that kitchen. I'm going back up to look at that kitchen again.

    Ferns are always welcome. As are kittens.

      The cat wanted to move to the country.

      Isn't that the prettiest name for a flower? I like "butter and eggs" too.

    I love your assorted wild flowers. There are various kinds of wild flowers in color and shape and size here as well and they are so sweet! It's amazing they look delicate and fragile but sturdy. Forget-me-not is my main theme in my spring garden.

    Love your posie! We can only find wild flowers like that in the mountains. You look to be having a lovely summer. Loved your Brimfield pictures! Nice finds. Enchanting NM misses you back I'm sure! Our forests have been opened again after the rains. Gotta get out there.

    Such pretty finds from down the lane. Know that kitty will love her new country digs. I think she's spotted a ladybug or wayward caterpillar hiding among the blossoms!
