Jonquils


I took this on the Bay Run,  however I equally like it upside down.


There is a seasonal thing to talk about! My favourite flowers are back in season. Last week they were fifteen dollars, This week they were ten dollars and hopefully next week they're down to six or seven, which is when I usually buy them but I decided I needed a treat so here they are! It's a short season, about 6 weeks. I am wait for it each year, scouring the florists until they appear!

They are the fragrance of joy!

Do you like jonquils? Or what's your favourite flower?

  1. Nice picture of the water and nice flowers. I do not have special favorites, I like tulips and roses....and gentian and sun-flowers.
    Have a good time

  2. Upside down ist really great! :-)
    I didn't know about jonquils before, but I learned that they are a type of daffodil. They look very pretty. Here, daffodils are usually in season in spring, but I don't know if it's the same in Australia. I like a lot of flowers, but I especially associate lavender with a lot of positive things. Today you'll get late summer stuff from Tasmania from me :-D
    All the best, Traude

  4. Oh dear, you are getting a lot of grey skies! Jonquils are one of my favourites, especially the chunky yellow ones that are very fragrant. I'm also partial to hyacinths (blue), anemones (red) and tulips (white), as far as Winter/Spring flowers go. Thanks for hosting, Lydia, and keep smiling...

  13. Looks just as cold as it is here. My Freesias and Daffodils have their green stems but no flowers as of yet.
