This week, Lou’s Nature in the Home challenge was to find something pink. At first glance, the garden was distinctly lacking in any pink blooms whatsoever, but I had forgotten about the cherry tree at the front of the house. It is well past its full glory now, petals fading to a pale, washed out shade and dropping whenever there is a gust of wind. I picked a handful of the fluffy blossom and brought it inside. This is a posy that will not last long, but the fallen petals have such an air of sweet disorder that they are charming in themselves. Such delicate confetti.
You’ve inspired me to bring some of our own garden blossom into the house, instead of moaning about it being tramped all through the carpets! Very pretty.
The first photo makes the blossom look like a gorgeous big pink pompom. I like the petals around the bottom too, like pink snow. Great images, Katie xx
I love these pictures and I love the bottle! Blossom even when it falls is beautiful, Jo xx
beautiful! how lovely to have a blossom tree. I was thinking about taking a little from my neighbour’s garden but think on balance it is probably a little risky! x
Just all lovely and fluffy and floaty and dreamy x
So very lovely, I love its faded glory and how fleeting its beauty is, stunning! x
Gorgeous pink images – I’m loving seeing how people interpret the pink theme
What beautiful photos. They are so still and peaceful. I always think blossom is just as beautiful when it’s fallen to the ground as it is when it’s on the tree.
Gorgeous blog you have here. x
Thank you very much 🙂
Gorgeous …. like perfect pompoms … love the bottle vase too … Bee xx
so beautiful! i have enjoyed the blossom this year so very much and all inspired by this series. Your little bit of gentle pink is adorable x
These are so so so very beautiful! I too love petals on the ground, on the floor, in my hair -just about anywhere. Your photos are so perfect. xo
Glorious 🙂
Time to pick some more flowers from my garden …
Such delicate images. Very pretty!
I’m not sure what’s prettier, your beautiful pictures or the phrase ‘sweet disorder’? A lovely post x
beautiful photos! these look so delicate and pretty.
They still look very pretty! x
So pretty. (I tried to think of a more original descriptor but pretty is totally the right word.)
