Roses are beautiful, and not surprisingly, they are one of the most popular flowers to give as a present. Of course, they also cost quite a bit to purchase in a bouquet, so how can you save money on the cost? The best solution is to simply grow your own.

The Heathers today after the frost had melted away. I'm going to Paris tomorrow so the blog will be chilling.
I bought a birds gourmet feast today for the garden birds.
Wild bird seed mix, sunflower seeds, ten fat balls, and two new feeders.
These have been hung up. I hope the birds will find them when I am away.
Will post again on the Fifteenth. I hope to have photos :)

The above 5 photos were taken in Copenhagen, Denmark. All this lush floral color is adding to my spring fever! (I love the above flower market pic, but just noticed a rather unflattering view of an industrious worker, in the background.) Oh - my post title? Yes, I know it's supposed to be Belgium, but I just thought of "borrowing" the movie title, today - unfortunately, Sunday was Belgium.



Wait a minute - I have families of this rare Mallard every year, in my backyard swamp... the infamous Lily Pond. Hardy, adventurous little fellows, aren't they?

The above 4 photos were taken in Dräger, Denmark. Love those showy Cyclamen! This last photo features the ever-popular Euonymus fortunei 'Emerald Gaiety'. I enjoy observing the rare and unusual species, as well as the sometimes creative uses of old, familiar plants (wait till you see France and Holland).

Special thanks, again to S.R. Calef for the ©2007 photos from his European cruise. Disclaimer: The above photos are not mine, although I am grateful for such photos and the opportunity to share them, through this blog. I am not a world traveler. Not even close. On three separate occasions, did I travel great distances from my New England home. Are you ready? Mapleton, Maine - Mystic, Connecticut - Desmoines, Iowa - "that's all folks!" Seriously. So, I guess I'm living vicariously through the travels of others. Who knows, maybe someday I'll get me one o' them new-fangled digital cameras. Mustn't rush these things. Perhaps I'm still in mourning for my poor little dead Advantix camera... at some point, I shall move on.
