In a Vase on Monday - A Beautiful Healer


I have never tested the healing properties of Echinacea (and I have read there are so many 🙂)! , but I love this plant mainly for the way it looks, its beautiful colours and the unique mixture of grace and strength that brings joy to our garden these days in July.

O vară cu (mult) flox

Anul acesta floxul este foarte frumos și parcă mai parfumat ca oricând ♡!Avem vreo 3 culori care au înflorit deja și unul alb care întârzie.L-am tot dus prin diverse locuri din grădină, primăvara, când e de vreo 10 cm și se mută ușor din tufă.

In a Vase on Monday - Day's Eye



I have always loved daisies and since my childhood I have considered these simple yet sophisticated flowers some of the most beautiful appearances of the floral world. If I had had more space in my garden (and less snails!), I would have filled it with daisies ! Still, I have a few young clumps that I love watching these lovely sunny summer days. 


A few facts about daisies (via The Telegraph:
- are found everywhere on Earth except Antarctica
- the name ”daisy”is thought to come from the Old English ”daes eag” which means ”day's eye”
- represents purity and innocence
- a daisy is actually two flowers in one
- daisy leaves are edible
