Sweet Alyssum

Hi Everyone
 Happy Wednesday
There are moments in our lives that we remember forever.....
The firsts time I kissed my now  husband 
{it was in a park on my lunch hour as we ate sandwiches holding hands}
The first time I was called by my married name after our Wedding
{boarding a plane for our honeymoon}
The first time we held the keys to our first  home
{the house had so much potential}
These tiny  white flowers are called
~Sweet  Alyssum~
and they are the first flowers we planted as newlyweds

 They came in a six pack of seedlings
so we bought ten packs
and planted them in our front yard
We watered the Alyssum everyday
having no idea how tall they would get
 or how they would not last throughout the heat of the summer monthes
Our sweet neighbor who at the time was in her late 70's came over
 and asked me if I was planning on planting anything with the allysum
I must have looked surprised because she went on to explain in detail
 that this flower is used as a border plant
 not really a main attraction flower!!!!!
{Love}
to cut a few flowers and put them in a pretty vintage pitcher
 this sweet white dainty flower will always
 remain a main attraction flower in my heart

romantic saying for today

  1. Sweet Asylum. I remember the first time I saw that plant and inhaled it's sweet fragrance. Smells like honey !!
    Luv the whites, the pinks and the lavender. But where I live, the die in the late spring and summer heat. :-( It's a cooler weather seasonal.
    Cheers, Gee
