Winter is long for gardeners, itching to be outdoors!
Fortunately I have a few African violets blooming in my sunroom, so I am not totally flower-deprived!
I enjoyed the recent blog post of a fellow gardener, showing flowers in different forms around the house.
So I hunted for forgotten flowers in my home as well!
I don't have quite as many!
Though I did find a few framed paintings.
(These last two were painted by a former student from Afghanistan.)
The living room has a few...
...like these recently-made flower pillows...
...and this painted table runner...
... and this child's painting.
I discovered some more...
...on several quilts...
...and tiles...
...like this hand-painted name plate that adorned the door of my Israeli apartment.
Also flowers delicately painted on glass.
Going upstairs, there were flowers on the walls of one bedroom...
... and a Laura Ashley border in another. (I had intended to go to a Laura Ashley store in London, but forgot!)
The third had a cross-stitched rose.
Another framed cross-stitch picture (purchased in a thrift shop) hangs in the hall.
Amazing how even pictures of flowers can brightening a day!
