During many years of apartment living I'd forgotten some of the little pleasures of having a yard filled with flowers. My gardens here at the wee little cottage in the woods are filled with a cacophony of perennials...when one ceases blooming another one starts. It is now late July and the flowers that are blooming are Shasta Daisies and Cone Flowers.
My parents had a lot of white flowers in their gardens such as daisies and gladiolos. Over the weekend I was thinking of how my mother used to cut bouquets of white flowers and color them with food coloring...and end up with beautiful exotic looking flowers for the dining room table, the kitchen tabled or the sideboard.
So I "Googled" the process for doing the same thing she used to do. It is quite simple actually: 1/2 cup water to which one adds 20 - 30 drops of food colors. In this mixture you place your white flowers making sure they are freshly cut...and three to four hours later you have these beautiful flowers. My poor example is in the picture above.
I am going to do this again!
E'nuff!
