How exciting it was the other day to see the crocus blooms open.
After all the snow and frigid temperatures we had this winter it was a pure joy.

What better way to enjoy them than with a cup of tea!
Today I am sipping chamomile - a light flora smell with a subtle hint of apples.
Royal Albert Prairie Crocus is perfect for a spring day.
This particular teacup is part of a special collection.
A little texturizing using the 'Tableaux' by French Kiss.
Just a whisper of what's to come ...
Thanks for spending some time with me. I always enjoy your company :-)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, they look so ethereal :-)
All the crocuses are gone long time ago from my garden and I already miss them. But now we are on to other things, always something flowering in my garden!
Definitely long awaited this year.
ReplyDeleteThese are just beautiful, Donna.
Our little yellow ones (which always bloom before the purple and white ones), came into bloom at the end of last week. Such a welcome sight.
How nice to find the tea cup of the Prairie Crocus. I don't seem to have any crocus' this year... only daffodils and tulips. I know I planted some.....
ReplyDeleteI have always liked the crocus pattern china, as I live in Manitoba where the prairie crocus is our provincial flower. Your live crocuses are so lovely too.
ReplyDeleteI saw crocuses for the first time today when I was out doing an errand. What a joy! Your pictures are so lovely. I wish I could do that well.
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful photos you have taken with the cup and flower and the same motifs. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the softness in the pictures you took. I always enjoy seeing the crocus-the first spring flowers from bulbs! Pretty tea cup!
ReplyDeletethe crocuses are so pretty and cheerful, and they go perfectly with your teacup. hope to see some around here soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely Donna! The teacup with crocuses is an unusual design. And the photos are so ethereal! Lovely!

Beautiful! Spring is finally here :-)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Donna,
ReplyDeleteYour crocuses are lovely and look so pretty with your beautiful teacup. It is finally beginning to feel like spring here too after a very long and harsh winter. Thank you for linking with Tea Time and have a beautiful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
I have never thought to pick crocus and put them in a bud vase (not sure why) and love how they look on your table with that lovely cup/saucer! Thanks for inspiring me (mine are gone, already, so next year!)
ReplyDeleteYour flower pics are beautiful. I live in northern cali so it's a little early for my flower garden, since we sometimes get snow in June. I went to Home Depot yesterday for some flower therapy. You are welcome to share at the Bacon Time linky, if you have not already. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Donna,
ReplyDeleteSpring is such a hopeful time, and crocus always brings delight after the long winter. Your flowers in the bud vase look amazing. The tea cup too, is so lovely. It is a sweet match to your pretty flowers.
Hugs,
Terri
I love crocus! Such pretty colors and so delicate. Your RA crocus teacup is perfect for spring. Happy Tea Day!
