One of my Favorite Flowers

The somewhat humble geranium is one of my favorite flowers. I have a deck off of my living room and am able to have bright touches of color thanks to these hardy and easy to care for plants.

Today, I brought in one bloom with a couple of leaves and put it into my new small vase. I had to get my paints out and capture the wonderful colors.

Now, if I could just print along a straight line -- that would be helpful. At least you know this effort is home made!

This is lovely. I, too, like to put one bloom in a small vase - I feel that I can then give it my full attention!
