Ode to geraniums... and lilacs





As adults, we sometimes notice that things are much smaller than they seemed when we were children. However, I could swear that the wood cranesbills (Geranium sylvaticum) have more and bigger flowers now than in my childhood... :)





Geraniums, 
with deep purple eyes
Scan avidly 
the Springtime skies
As if despite 
their diminutive size
That they could 
from Mother Nature prize
…Eternal Springs and endless lives…

                                  David Whalen











The lilacs are starting to bloom.










I wish I could share with you also something more than only photos...  The air is so lovely, warm, calm, rather humid, and very, very fragrant.




You may have noticed that I'm very much in love with our
Begonia × tuberhybrida (Pendula Group).
With this collage, I participate in 







Have a lovely new week!

  11. Pretty geranium flowers and I see lupins in the background getting ready to appear.
    Lucky you to be coming into lilac season, will you bringing some in for vases? Mine are finished except the Korean lilac decided to put out one more bloom and I've probably extracted all the scent from smelling it so often. :-)
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Sara.
