🌸🌳🌸 My 91 year old MIL used to tell me she couldn’t believe a garden like mine could exist in Oklahoma. She loved flowers and bits of gardening herself: roses to cut for the vase, basil for pesto in pots on her deck, pansies in spring - always in blue, never purple. She loved amaryllis at Christmas and was one of the few people I knew who had the patience to get repeat bloom from her orchids. Hubs and I brought her a yellow orchid with hints of purple the day she died. She never tired of the simple charm of a cut bloom on her kitchen table. Maintaining childish delight as we age is a gift...and a key to longevity, don’t you think? . . . #garden_styles #pinkflowers #gardenideas #frontyard #cottageliving #springiscoming #instagarden #topiary #cosycottage #cottagedecor #countrycottage #lvgardendesignschool #gardenlife #gardendesign #gardenstyle #lindavater #cottages #countryhousestyle #cottagechic #cottagegarden #gardens #gardenofinstagram #gardenphotography #cottagestyle #englishcountryhouse #jardin #foxglove #lindavater https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_sqcdluhV/?igshid=6i47rsvnh5dp
