More Mallow Love


These globe mallow just won't quit and I've taken to bringing them inside to enjoy.  This sake bottle was saved on a whim and it's the perfect vessel for these sweet little flowers.  Savoring every moment of spring and the blessings it brings...

It's spring fever.  That is what the name of it is.  And when you've got it, you want - oh, 
you don't quite know what it is you do want, but it just 
fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!

  6. Very nice composition. I took a photo of a mallow growing in asphalt last summer in Wyoming. Same flowers but different species. Extremely hardy I should say.

  7. Love that quote. I've got spring fever bad and I have no idea where to start or what to do. Doing a lot of wandering around outside right now just enjoying fresh warm air.

  12. That's a very pretty flower arrangement! Sometimes it doesn't take that much, really.

    I look forward to seeing the mallows come out here in Denmark.
