Flower Friday: January 14, 2021

 

Yippee it's Flower Friday!

64 days until Spring!

Above is a block from a calendar quilt I made years ago.  I think the transfer was from my Nana Elsie but I'm not sure.  Anyway, it was fun to make!

Nann said not much blooming near Chicago but she sent this interesting photo from one of her hikes.  It's a teasel seed head and isn't the structure interesting?

Nann also sent this interesting article in how the teasel seed pod was used in cloth making.  Intrigued?  It is a cool article and you can read it here.  It's a fascinating insight and the photos are great too!

Betsy and Sue shared what's blooming in their homes!

Sue said the first sign of spring at her house is when her orchids begin to bloom!

PS--how about that Pig string holder in the background!!!

Last week Sue showed us that her orchids were sprouting lemons.  This week Betsy shared that her lemon tree is still blooming and now it has fruit!!!

Have a safe and happy day!
