Cottage in Ireland


Well, it could be Ireland. Don't you love this setting? Springtime anywhere is wonderful.

"May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through." An Irish Blessing for St. Patrick's Day!


Irish Shamrock (Trifolium dubium)

"May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go." An Irish Blessing

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Everyone's Irish today.

The Official Irish Shamrock is Trifolium dubium. It is pictured in an Irish Belleek bowl planted in genuine Irish dirt.



Tulips In Jars

Such a nice still life with tulips in vases and bottles and jars. This should brighten your day.

Paradise Contained (Flower Bulbs)

I pick up this book all the time lately. I've posted several photos from it too. It is a little early to think of anything except bulbs. Actually the best time to think about bulbs was last fall.

Paradise Contained. Growing and Decorating with Flower Bulbs
I love the twig stand on the cover, don't you?

Taucherglocke (Diving Bell)

Taucherglocke. This is one of my early lithographs representing an open diving bell with air supply. It looks very imaginary to me. Lithographer: M. Listemann. I wish I new more...I bought a box full of these mysterious prints years ago. Please advise if you can provide additional information. Thanks, Rosemary
