This was a heartening find outside our High Street florists on Wednesday. I love the blue of hyacinths, though their scent can be overpowering indoors. Anyway, it made me think how lucky we are in our very small and ancient town to have so many independent shops. As I may well have mentioned before, our traders’ roll call even includes two book stores. Also extraordinarily, we have a vicars’ outfitters where men of the cloth can have their cloth, well, customized. Who’d’ve thought…
I’m thinking I may feature more of Wenlock in squares over the next few days. I shall have to schedule same as we’re about to go to the dark side. That is to say, changing our internet provider. The last time we did that we were worldwidewebless for nearly a fortnight. So if you don’t hear from me over the next few days, do not be surprised.
March Square Pop over to Becky’s to get square with this squares and circles lark.

Oh, not the Dark Side, Tish! 😦 😦 Such lovely gentle ‘circles in a square’ this morning. I still find it strange to see them as cut flowers. I have some soft pink and plummy tulips on my hearth. Not yet faded enough for Sue. 🙂 🙂 Happy weekend!
Happy weekend to you too, Jo. Hope you’re feeling sprightlier.
I can smell these from Portugal – they are stunning. Beautiful blue circles this morning ☺
A case of, Be there and Be Square.
Ahh I love that heady fragrance. Good luck with the switch over!
Yes, good luck with the changeover! I’m with Jo here, I can’t see these as cut flowers. I have a bowl in the conservatory so I get a pleasant whiff every time I walk through and it is not as permeating a scent as it would be in the warmer rooms. I do like your square though.
Those are gorgeous, Tish, and I can almost smell them. Good luck with the changeover and if, by chance, you’re offline for a few days…enjoy it!! 🙂

I have never grown them but they are lovely. Isn’t that blue beautiful?
Oh, I do love a high street florist! We lack a vicar’s outfitters in our town!
Am wondering how many vicar’s outfitters there could possibly be. Sometimes we get flocks of vicars converging here. 🙂
😂
Really beautiful!
Thanks, Anna.
Goodness….all the best for your Internet changeover….
Just back on line, though have also been away! It almost went smoothly – the changeover that is. Good wishes and a following wind always welcome.
Glad to hear you are back online…you must have missed my tale of woe last Sunday?
I did miss it. I’ve just popped over to your place to catch up a bit. Hope you’re back in working order now.
Oh, the Broadband is working, but WordPress won’t work properly on my iPad now…but I don’t have the energy to deal with that!
I know the feeling. Our new connection works upstairs but not downstairs. And you just can’t fathom WHY NOT! Curse and double curse.
Yes, I can turn the air blue!
Me too!
Oh, good!
Such a lovely blue!
Thanks, Lisa.
The flowers featured in this post reminded me of the blue-purple artichokes that have been showing up in the markets here in the last few years. They are very tasty. Have you encountered them?
Oh yes, I love artichokes. I even grow them, though they won’t be ready till summer. But I see the similarity of form 🙂
How beautiful.
Thank you, Mithriluna.
I don’t think being a classy dresser ever made it into the “do not” list of commandments 🙂
