In my last post I mentioned my blue star flowers, and how I didn't know the correct name for them. Thanks to Lyn I now know that they are called Ipheion Uniflorum, and after a bit of googling I also know that the common names are spring star or spring starflower. So, I wasn't too far wrong with calling them blue star flowers... and I'll probably continue to do just that!
They make a lovely display with other spring flowers on a gently tarnished silver platter. How do you like to display spring blooms? I always enjoy pulling out my little glass bottles at this time of year.
And, since everything else in this photo is thrifted, I'm linking up to Op Shop Showoff at Blackbird Has Spoken.
oh...so beautiful spring flowers..robbie:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's finally spring!
DeleteSuch pretty spring blooms. I've got little bouquets dotted around the house here too.
ReplyDeleteGlass bottles on a silver tray is such a lovely sight. x
I think delicate spring flowers are shown to perfection in little glass bottles! The simplicity sets off the blooms.
DeleteThey look great with the grape hyacinths. They are one of my favourites at this time of year and I always want more of them when I see them flowering.
ReplyDeleteBetween the ipheion and the grape hyacinths there's hardly a bare patch of earth. I do love plants which grow so easily and are great for picking!
DeleteAhh , lovely! I've always a houseful of little pickings with short stems courtesy of my litle picker, and plenty of little glass bottles, but i really like how the little silver tray sets it all off. Lovely to have you joining in the linky x
ReplyDeleteOh, your little blue star flowers looks so pretty with the muscari! What an adorable bouquet. Love your little glass bottles, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, lovely spring flowers, Ruth! It's a good idea to display flowers in three little bottles toghther!!Love tiny flowers, too:) We also have "spring star" in Japan, but it's called "Hana-nira", which is Japanese for "chive flower." "Spring star" sounds lovely and fits its lovely shape;)
