Today I’m sharing a few flowers from my yard I put in my crystal bowl. It had been a beautiful day with a low of 62 F and a high of 82 F. We had several weeks with higher than normal temperatures. I love the blue skies and low humidity in the winter here in central Florida. Our weather is semi-tropical. We usually have mild winter weather with fronts from the north periodically in December and January. My two single red hibiscus were blooming big, beautiful flowers. I picked 2 for a bowl with several little white periwinkle flowers. I placed the red hibiscus and dropped periwinkle around the red flowers.
The crystal bowl is on a turquoise plate on the dining table. The flowers will only last one day, but they brighten my home.

I never see white periwinkle here. It makes for a beautiful combo!
The light purple is much more common. My first white one must have been a gift of the wind.
Your flowers are a welcome sight as I am still staring at the snow through the window 🙂 Thanks Carol!
Glad it helps!
Bella flor, te mando un beso.
Very pretty. You made the most of the turquoise plate.
Beautiful colour combination with flowers from your garden. I have yellow and pink hibiscus and white periwinkles.
Carol – a truly lovely arrangement, especially against the blue plate! Thanks for sharing your garden’s beauty with everyone at Mosaic Monday!
What lovely flowers, I love this combination.
Happy New Year ????
They really do look beautiful in the turquoise bowl! WOW! Enjoy your week…looks like more good weather ahead!
thanks – you too!
You have such a good eye for color — and your photos preserve this beautiful arrangement for always, even if the real subjects only lasted a day or two. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!! Happy New Year (I was on a blog break and plan to scroll back to catch up with your posts but I won’t always comment, so I wanted to add my wishes here.
The Flowers are so pretty with the red and white on the turquoise plate which I love and would look nice in my kitchen if only I could find dishes like these. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a nice day.
