Daffodil Ice Follies
Daffodil Pheasant's Eye
Snowdrop S. Arnott
Musk hyacinth Muscari muscarimi






Camellia japonica Lavinia Maggi
Camellia hybrid Cornish Snow
Camellia japonica Charlotte de Rothschild
Camellia hiemalis Bonanza






And, a little wisdom from Dame Marjorie Maude Chardin -

One of my favorite movies. I have been thinking about it recently ever since reading about the 13 year old fashionista who writes the blog "Style Rookie". She loves the movie too. I am going to show it to my daughters as soon as I can get a copy. Thanks for the clip!

For months I have been holding a photograph of Ruth Gordon by Cecil Beaton in my files that included a clip from this most treasured of movies. Thank you for reminding me that I need to look into my archives more often and post these gems. I never tire of this movie or hearing Cat Stevens sing.
