05.26.15 = Fragrant "To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat." ~Beverly Nichols
06.06.13 = Past It's Prime? Easy come, easy go. I've been watching my peony's age in the vase for a week or so now. The fluffy soft, white petals are drying out and turning a beautiful antiqued brown. What was once a fragrant flowery smell has turned to a soft vanilla like smell. Each flower and petal has become more unique in it's own way, with a wonderful texture and color. It's been fascinating watching each flower age and turn more interesting with time. They are still beautiful, just in a different way. It's true that youth will age and change, but it seems we all become a more unique version of ourselves. "Be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time in your life it may occur." Muriel Spark
