I am not sure that the first picture is of a flower but rather a fruit perhaps. Can anyone confirm that for me? I have shown it anyway as it is very beautiful and the colours so lovely. I am sure you will recognise a few of these.
Take the memory and beauty of these into the weekend and I hope you have a good one.
I must apologise for not visiting some blogs over the past few days but I promise to try and catch up. I enjoy reading them all so much so just give me time and I'll pay a visit soon.
The bouquet you have given us is beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLook after yourself - and have a good weekend.
Here I am running very late but I do appreciate your kind comments and our weekend was excellent. Thank you.
DeleteMy goodness, that red and white rose is stunning! And the red and white orchid too.
ReplyDeleteThe first picture is Lychees I believe. They're a fruit.
Lychees it is. I'd not had time to check it out but sure enough there they were on Google.
DeleteThe red and white flowers certainly stand out don't they?
HUGS Mimsie your beautiful flowers made me smile they are beautiful. Have a glorious weekend my friend and Thank you. HUGS B
ReplyDeleteThanks Buttons. Our weekend was a good one and I hope you had a good Mothers' Day and are feeling more your old happy self again. xx
DeleteThese are gorgeous. I recognise several, because they grow in my garden. But not the first fruit; it could well be lychees, as river says. Don’t like the taste.
ReplyDeleteAbout the geriatric mood swings: I am now old too, but these mood swings and periods of misery have been an unwanted companion for most of my life. Looking at flowers, reading and listening to music helps, and certainly going out into the fresh air makes quite a difference.
Hope you’ll feel better soon.
Hi there Friko and thank you for popping in.
DeleteI appreciate all your comments and I guess older people have to expect ourselves no to be as we were in our youth.
My depression is not the serious type thank goodness, but rather to do with diabetes and chronic arthritis which often just amounts to sheer frustration.
I did pop over to your blog but had no time to leave comments but I will be back as soon as I can spend a reasonable amount of time 'with you'.

ReplyDeleteRiver's on the ball - those indeed be lychee!! Yum. What an amazing bouquet you have presented as dear blogpal. Thanks for taking time to comment over my way too. Given the hectic time you have been having that was generous. I do hope you have a good weekend! YAM xx
I think I once had lychees at a Chinese restaurant and quite liked them (with ice cream perhaps?).
DeleteThe responses from my blogging friends always cheer me up as well as the pretty flowers.
I'll be back over 'your way' as often as I can be as all you say do are so interesting.
Weekend was a good one including Mother's Day.
What beautiful flowers! I hope posting them cheered you up a bit. They sure put a smile in my heart.
ReplyDeleteThank Susan....flowers and pleasant music are two pleasers that always help brighten any day.
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed them and thanks for your visit.
Flowers always cheer me up Mimsie, when I look at them when out and about, or when I look at pretty photos such as these. Thank you so much, and please don't worry about visiting and commenting. I think we are all in the same boat :) Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Mother's Day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise for all your comments. I am running late once again.
DeleteI do try and visit your blog as often as I can and will continue to do so.
Mother's Day was good and hope yours was as well. : )
Wishing you a beautiful day tomorrow Mimsie.
ReplyDeleteThe final flower image of the variegated Rose? There were two identical ones just like that in a bouquet I received via the florist last week. We were most intrigued by them.
And yes flowers are always cheerful and gladden the heart.
I agree with River and Friko I too am pretty sure the first image is Lychees.
Thank you Rose and yes, Sunday was a good day all round. Hope yours was enjoyable as well.
DeleteCoincidence that you actually had 2 of those red/white roses in your bouquet and lucky you receiving said bouquet too.
Seems the lychee decision is unanimous and I confirmed it on Google. (What would we do without Google?).
I appreciate your visit here.
