Sunday was a glorious Spring Day, so why not go see the annual show, and dream about growing gorgeous blooms such as those exhibited by Sacramento's flower aficionados?
The blooms were stunning, even though many of them probably looked prettier on Friday.
I personally preferred looking at the unusual and artsy floral arrangements. I love flowers and I love having them in my home. I have decided (especially after seeing this arrangement) that I need to be more purposeful about keeping a bouquet in my home regularly.
After the show, we spent some time with our friends in their back yard in the sunshine, sharing a nice glass of cool Fume Blanc. Our friends' mid century style home boasts half a dozen camellia bushes that are upwards of 40 years old. The bushes tower over the yard and were covered in beautiful blooms. Their flowers rivaled any that we saw at the flower show.
I love photographing flowers!
And the sweetest flower in the yard...my friend Micki.
Laurel. Flowers make your day, just like friends!
