Daffodil Pheasant's Eye
Snowdrop S. Arnott
Musk hyacinth Muscari muscarimi
Camellia japonica Lavinia Maggi
Camellia hybrid Cornish Snow
Camellia japonica Charlotte de Rothschild

And, a little wisdom from Dame Marjorie Maude Chardin -

Lovely.
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!
One of my favorite movies. I must have seen it 20 times...which is strange for me. Normally once is enough.
The musk hyacinth looks beautiful. I would love to give it a whiff and see if it smells as sultry as it sounds.
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.
One of the benefits of surviving a Texas summer is getting to see camellias throughout the winter.
I saw the movie in the theater the year it came out. It was instantly burned into my brain and heart. I never tire of it. But I've never found a copy of the best song in the film, "If you want to be free, be free..."
