Recently I walked through Hilda Kluger's lilac gardens in Woodland, Washington
But we came to see lilacs and lilacs we saw.
I wish I could remember their names, but I just went to savor their beauty and fragrance.
I could tell you this one above this sentence is my favorite, but each is my favorite.
Aren't they amazing?
With each sighting, each sniff of the nose, and each delight it feels like we are sipping flowers, just as this fairy is doing. Sipping flowers is pure decadence!
Just yesterday I did indeed sip flowers for I made elderflower cordial from my own garden. Have you ever made a cordial from flowers? OH MY! Try it sometime, it is just taking the feast for the eyes and filling your soul with the sweet fragrances of springtime. Lilacs is another flower that makes a lovely cordial. I use Jamie Oliver's recipe, which I found online; but there are plenty of recipes to be found and actually quite easy. Then I freeze the cordial in small containers for deliciousness of flowers later throughout the winter.
Hoping you are having a delightful, flower filled weekend.
Happy weekend, dear friends!
