Simply Primitive Flowers ~101

Dear Peeps.  The sun is shining so beautiful and bright today.  It's streaming through the south windows so warm and pretty.  It gives the illusion of spring.  But, don't let it fool you......baby it's cold outside.  I feel some spring fever coming on.  So to ward it off (it's just to early for it), I gave myself some winter leave and took to the computer for some eye candy.  I have seen the most beautiful displays of wild flowers and herbs in some of your homes and in magazines.  Problem is..... I had no idea what they were called.  So I relied on my faithful forum and blogging friends to help me out.  Really, all I know is what people have told me and what I have seen.  So, comment and let me know what you grow and how you display it.   Now, I can't wait for it to really warm up so I can get my garden growing.

~Lavender~ 

This stuff is going in my bathroom and in that yellow vase I just got.  It is so pretty.  

~Pussy Willow~

I think that this will look awesome on top of the stove in the living room or on the piano in just the right crock or tin.

~Forsythia~

Is actually a shrub.  I need to see if this will grow in my area.  If so, I will be planting a couple in the east corner of the back yard.

~Sweet Annie~

A staple I am gathering.  It will look lovely dried and hung.

~Feverfew~

When I see Feverfew I think simple beauty.  I want to have some on my front patio and on my window sill in the kitchen.

~Lily of the Valley~
This just screams feminine to me.  And what a wonderful scent.

~Golden Rod~

I love the big bunches of small flowers on this plant. They can be a sign of good luck you know:)  I will search the ditches and meadow this spring and summer to get plenty.  

~Flowering Oregano~
Herbs can make the most beautiful yet simple displays.  I can't wait to have a garden full of them.  Last year I started some by seed and some by small plant from the green house.  

~Tansy~
Tansy fills it up so well.  It dries good too.

~Yarrow~
In white or yellow.  This is so pretty in a blue mason jar.

~Black Eyed Susans~
I love the shape of these flowers.  -Courtesy of Raymond Homestead-

~New England Aster~
I love the small pink heads and the thick greenery below.  


I spent waaaayy to much time looking at flowers today.  But I am glad I did because I feel refreshed.  I am thankful for many talented people who willingly share their photos on the internet with everyone.  
We are off to the school Winter Carnival tonight.  That's always a good time.   I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
