Paperwhite Daffodils

We’ve just finished taking the Christmas decorations down. It feels good to have them all packed away safely until next year but there is a distinct lack of greenery indoors now. I like to have something beautiful to look at on my kitchen windowsill. Flowers make me happy.
A bunch of Paperwhite Daffodils and a pot of fresh green Basil are just the ticket. 

I love colour. That’s true… but throughout the short dark days of January a little vase of something fresh and light is enough to lift my spirits. Besides if you look closely there’s a touch of golden yellow inside every flower.

I’m not the only gardener who loves cut flowers for the house.
If you’d like to see some more then pop along to Cathy’s blog Rambling in the Garden.

Thanks for reading.  Sending you my best wishes for a very Happy New Year.         Gillian 🙂
