Soap Roses...

Today we are visiting the powder room...

I found these white soap roses...

at Michaels crafts awhile back.

I also found the soap roses in pink and in purple..

I like to tuck them around in the soap dishes..

they look so sweet and smell nice:-)

The white smell like vanilla blossom.

I tucked a bouquet of them..

 into the top of this milk glass compote,

along with a tattered crocheted doiley.

here is a close up of the... happy shabby white roses :-)

Today I am Joing Kathleen at Faded Charm

I planted two of these azeleas today..

I have a hedge of three that hasn't filled in like I want,

so I am filling in a little.

The others in the ground are not blooming yet,

these came from a grennhouse..

and are blooming early.

Here is some rock cress (arabis)..

creeping over the stone wall.

Do you see the spikes of blue flowers in the backround?

Here is a close up..

They are ajuga reptans..

They are just starting to open.

Here is another variety of ajuga reptans,

this one has a varigate leaf, and the flower spikes are not as tall.

They are a fast growing groundcover..

 I think the flowers spikes look so whimsical in the garden.

Today I am joining Todays Flower

a great group of bloggers from around the world..

sharing flower photos!

Stop by and see...
