And what are we topping that yummy pound cake with?

Laura, awhile back you were asking about blue flowers - what about blue hydrangeas or blue delphiniums? I think they are both beautiful and both come in a wide variety and shades of blue - they would make grand arrangements.

Thanks for the cake, it's delicious!

Anyone want some tea with their cake? Jasmine, peppermint, I even got watermelon tea!

There is still a few peices of cake left for anyone who wants it....

Hmm. watermelon tea sounds interesting... but I think I'll have the jasmine

Ya know, I've had a jasmine plant for about 8 years now and it has only bloomed one time, just a few flowers. I guess it needs more sun but I'm afraid in this Tx heat it wouldn't make it in full sun! sigh!

I have a star jasmine in a pot and it blooms every year profusely, but must bring it inside in the winter. Fortunate to have it survive a bad case of mealy bugs on 2 occasions. Hope you are luckier next year with ours.

Beautiful,
I have a vase of sunflowers on my table .
The storm last night took down my largest sunflower. Had to have 30 open blooms .

I think she has decided to use hydrangeas, or at least for this week! LOLOL

Man, I gotta stop looking at the food pic here! No cake here, but that chocolate ice cream is calling, and its a bit late for that, but I'm going for it anyway!

Watermelon tea does sound interesting, my sister makes a raspberry and strawberrie tea. Her oldest granddaughter use to call it freckled tea! LOL

Thanks again for all of the ideas!

The watermelon tea is actually really good, it has dried peices of the melon in it so it makes a great iced tea!

Christine, maybe your Jasmine needs some iron> Mine did terrible until I fed it some iron and now its taking off!

Candee, I love star jasmine too, its so fragrant too! Mmm....

Laura, glad to hear she has decided what flowers to use! Hydrangeas are beautiful and you can stud them with pearls or little jewels and such if you want to dress them up a bit more.

I'll soon be coming into the season of arrangements. I have been busy crocheting all through our mild winter and look forward to sticking flowers in a vase. What has everyone else been up to?

Wintersowing this week so I will have flowers in the summer to pick and bring inside when it rains.
also doing clean up in the garden shed so when Spring gets here I can play again in the garden.

Spirit horses, unicorns and just pretty horses ready to go into oven, polyclay.

Rescue Amaryillis, supposed to be dark red but still quite beautiful...

I went to the seed swap last week and got lots of goodies for the garden.
RR, loving those horsies!!!!!!

it has been a long time since we have chatted at the flower pot cafe.

Candee - how did you do with all the seeds you got at the seed swap?

I participated at the seed swap over at Ella's Garden on Cubits, and got a ton of seeds. I wintersowed about 60, but only got about 10% success. I need to refine my seed sowing
mainly, I need to remember to water.........
