correct! brain flowers yes I like that. hahaha! oops sorry I laughed!

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

No apologies necessary. I couldn't think of a more accurate description and believe I will convince my DH that he needs to go to the grocery, florist, and ask for "brain flowers". Could be fun! ;^>

Do you think old Belle next door sells Brain flowers?!
Good luck sending the DH for brain flowers! you never know he might come back with some!

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

If anyone can, it will be him. I do think I will have to devise some sort of sneaky plan. Give him the first 4 letters or so and tell him they look like brains, they will know what you are talking about. I don't know if he would speak to me after that. lol.

They are quite easy to grow here in the summer. I have grown the feathery type of brain flowers before but not the actual brain type!

Birmingham, AL(Zone 7b)

I am not sure I want Brain Flowers growing in my garden. Unless, they gave me more intelligence, then I would grow them everywhere!

just thought I 'd make you a nightcap before I go to bed!

It's called.... A bit of fluff
The flower arranging ladies refer to gypsophilia in this way rather unkindly for some reason.

How about the Daliah Dazzler. Maybe the Phlox Fizz. Or the Caribbean Conifer. Finally the Knock you on your A@@ Anemone. I couldn't come up with a good acronym. I personally like the last one!

Winnipeg, MB(Zone 4a)

Terri luv the new sign!! Very chic!

Karma your basket looks delicious! Where are the figs?

:) Donna

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

I'm off today, but forgot to turn off my alarm. . .so I'm here for my morning coffee. . .couldn't go back to sleep. Sorry for going MIA. . .too many things going on this week in the home front.

Terri, thanks for finding the mags. I looked all over for them! All those arrangements were great. I never got into buying a subscription. . .they're so pricey.

"Karma, get you rear over here or no Brugs for you!!". Crap. . .am I too late?????? How can I make it up to y'all?

Donna, thanks! Love figs. . .don't know anyone around here that will give me some. I thought about stealing from my neighbor's empty lot, but he hasn't returned to cut his grass in forever. . .not sure what's lurking in there. I caught him taking my pears one time so we would be even if I could get my hands on the figs.

london England, United Kingdom

Thanks Donna!, You should see it at night it's neon!
Karma, Good morning to you! We really need more arrangements for the cafe',
I have the keys to Belles next door, we can go in there and have a play around if you like?
Where's Traci?, I need some help with the new play area, any ideas?

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

Morning. I have old arrangements for the cafe. . .but no new ones. Do you want those? I've seen Traci around. . .just not here. Yes, my turn to tattle!

london England, United Kingdom

Morning!
What do you mean old arrangements? We hardly have any, this whole cafe needs much more in it!
We have so many little nooks and cranies in here to fill, I would love you to bring yours in.

I'll just have a coffee and see if Traci turns up. Belle loves her doesn't she?!

london England, United Kingdom

Haha, Karma, nice try. Terri KNOWS where I have been. :^P.

Terri, I love the painting. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! I wonder if you could paint some tiny wall vases and attach, so "if someone bought it" They could alway put flowers in it. Just a thought.

I have much cleaning to do on the house. I will down this double expresso and be off. I'll drop in later.

Karma, bring your flowers!! Old, new, dead, it doesn't matter.

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

Terri, neat collages. Traci, you spolied my tattle. No fair! No fun.!

Well, here's a rerun of an arrangement with gerbers.

Hello!
Good idea with the wall vases Traci!
Karma, thanks for bringing in the Geberas, I love that one.
Next time would you bring the black coffee? please.

I'm busy making arrangements, what are you too up to?!!

New Orleans, LA(Zone 8b)

Trying to type as fast as I can so I can go pick up Peyton. Grandma has him today. . .daycare closed for a memorial service. Can't wait to see your arrangements.

london England, United Kingdom

Funny you should mention Peyton, I have a teensy little set of topiary trees for the play area, with lentils for stones.
