The plum trees blooming in the hedge-rows on the highway along with sweet honeysuckle on countryside fences make for a picture perfect springtime day. Yesterday, the sky so blue, a bit of a breeze, the sunny day so appealing, it would
have been difficult to have spent the afternoon inside. Piddled with
some re-potting of plants, floated lazily in the pool, and enjoyed
watching (again!) Forrest Gump with my husband on the patio.
The fence is covered with little white pinwheels
of Confederate Jasmine
whose fragrance is so sweet and thick,
it filled the air around us.
No flowers in the house for this last Monday in April, but seeing these outside my kitchen window ... amazing!
I know I should have brought some inside,
but I just couldn't bring myself to disturb the beauty.
Visit flwrjane for Flowers in the House
the last Monday of each month
Bet there will be some lovely offerings from all over the world!
Well when it's as beautiful a flower as that jasmine I'm as happy to see it on the fence as i would be to have it in the house.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely Sunday.

Your jasmine is beautiful, and undisturbed just as it should be.
ReplyDeleteOh the scent of jasmine and the beauty of daylilies (which often have a wonderful fragrance)--isn't life wonderful?
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a big shrub of jasmine in full bloom. I can feel the scent... Thank you for visiting my blog and having left your kind comment. From Japan.
