Photos: Flowers for the Table

I'm not usually a fan of cut flowers; I like them better in garden.  They last longer... you don't have to pick up all the dropped petals... and more people get to see them.  I've always sorta thought that 'cut flowers' are 'dead flowers'.  But sometimes... the table just needs a little bouquet.  😊

(Yes, I understand that cutting flowers from a plant often makes the roots grow stronger. And yes, I realize that blossoms might not last any longer outside than they do indoors. And still I prefer them in the garden. But here they are, on the table for once. 😉 )
