A Bucket of "Belles"...

..."Belles of Ireland" that is. This is one of my favorite "flowers" even though I'm not sure that they are flowers - Let's call it greenery. I got to bring a few home after the wedding and I jus' love them. They are tall, graceful, sculptural and unique.



And they are perfect in my big enamel pot that my sweet momma gifted me about a year ago. She said, "Sissy, I had to get this for you - it looks jus' like you!" And she was right - it is so me.

Hope you all have a beautiful day - and you can grow these wonderful plants in your cutting garden - try them out this year!!!

  4. Those have such a great color and texture!! I bet they would be perfect in arrangements. We will definitely try to grow those. I must admit I had never heard of them until now, but I think my children will really enjoy them. They look soft, too. :)
