In My Garden..

My first hibiscus bud~
I am beyond happy~

I am fascinated by the "Language of Flowers."

Hibiscus 
~ Consumed by Love, Delicate Beauty~

Speak with finesse and bring the Language of Flowers into your day.
Incidentally, when sending flowers to a loved one,
be sure to include an accompanying card that explains their meaning!

Have a wonderful day and be happy~

  1. Great idea, Nancy. Hibiscus is David's favorite flower. Later in the day I'll be able to sit at this table and see David's hibiscus through my patio windows. Now I will really appreciate them, knowing the meaning of them.

  2. Hi Nancy,
    This would be a perfect post for Fresh-cut Friday! :) That is a great idea to include a card with the meaning. I love Hibiscus. They actually grow really well here in Phoenix.

    Have a great weekend!

  3. Nancy, I love hibiscus. I don't have my blog in my blog roll so I don't know if that has happened or not. Thanks for the comment and have a great day.

  7. How pretty that is going to be!! My mom bought me one last year and I was surprised that it survived our winter. We all fell in love with them!

  10. I so love seeing the unfolding of a bud. Plants and flowers and herbs have so many meanings. Victorians used this a lot to send messages of love. I use them to create memorial gardens for loved ones.

    I finally talked him in to letting it grow over the fence between us :)
    It is truly a fantastic flower .
    Thank you so much for sharing your post today !

  19. Hi Nancy- I love hibiscus too-we can't grow them here except as hot-house plants. I love seeing them all over the place when we go to Florida! When I lived there we used to have them all along our fence line.

    What a great idea to include the meaning along with the flower. Perfect! Diana

  25. I see you are an Austinite! I just moved from Austin to Florida after living there for 17 years. I still have one daughter and two grandsons there.

    I wonder if you know my Austin friend Julie, who has the blog Midlife Jobhunter (http://midlifejobhunter.blogspot.com). You look so much like her in your photo!

    Beautiful flowers and your dining table layout from the previous post is gorgeous.

    Hope you're staying cool out there.
