Also I picked a bouquet for our kitchen table and took a photo of it also. Enjoy.
A few of you, my blog friends, say your climate won't allow Canterbury Bells, and I share that frustration when I see your own photos of your gardens with peonies and lilacs and forsythia, garden friends from my childhood in Wisconsin. I haven't grown those here in California, so must get by with enjoying your blog photos and with dreaming.

That is one of the greatest things we get from the blog - what we can't have - we can enjoy when others have it!
I love those Canterbury Bells. I need some of those for my gardens. have enjoyed my visit it has been a while. Will look up the Billy Graham book, thanks for the heads up.
They really are beautiful! Isn't it nice that we can all share what we have with those who may not be able to grow the same flowers. :-)
I get garden envy when I see Southern gardens, but the diversity from place to place really is great.
Don't know if they will grow in zone 5, I need to check that out. they are simply beautiful.

What beautiful colors!
I grew up in Appleton and then Milwaukee. All that snow and cold… moved south first chance I got.
Those are just beautiful flowers. I don't think I've ever heard of them! Thanks for sharing!
I'm with Chatty. No garden myself, but I so enjoy visits to yours. Thanks!
Hi! I saw your link on Cafemom and stopped by to add myself as a follower. The flowers are beautiful! I am terrible at gardening... I think I could learn a few things from you!

Those Canterbury Bells are gorgeous! I found it encouraging that it grew from a tiny and hopeful beginning in a four inch pot. I love flowers. I think they are one of the ways God blesses us.
Those are beautiful! Thanks for sharing them here.
Simply stunning...
