“We are all children of one great mother, Nature.” — Charles Dickens
It was Mother’s Day in the U.S. yesterday. And I wanted to celebrate a mother many forget to honor, Mother Nature. I do try and honor her everyday, but why not give her another special day.
These little species tulips are the only ones growing in my little garden. A favorite, Little Beauty. Also growing in nicely are the Leucojum aestivum also known as Summer Snowflake. They remind me of giant lily of the valley, and in my garden bloom about the same time.
Still with slim pickings in my garden, I thought, why not put these two lovely flowers in a vase. And here is the result.
I like the cheeriness of this vase as May begins to warm a bit more here in our unusually cool weather.
And in case you m missed it our book is now available in print or ebook through Amazon internationally. I do hope if you love nature, you will pick up a copy and follow along as we contemplate the beauty, wonder and peace of nature. It’s a great book for gardeners and garden and nature lovers.
If you have purchased the book, we would love to have you review the book. Also it would be great to see where in the world our book has traveled, so please do a post on Facebook or Instagram showing us the book (and you too if you feel comfortable), and telling us where in the world you are. Thank you everyone for your continued support.
With this sweet little vase, I am linking in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. All the pictures shared in this post were taken with my Nikon Coolpix or iPhone camera.

Your little vase is so sweet, Donna – the tulips and leucojum look absolutely perfect in that vase. Gorgeous!
I really how it came out.
Your slim pickings are beautiful. Delicate beauties.
Thanks. Nature does provide beauty in small ways
A lovely spring combination, Donna – a bright, sparkling-pink tulip with a smudged-blue eye, topped by the tinkling bells of leucojum!
I have such a small garden I only planted favorite bulbs. Both of these are joyful. I love your description of them.
Such a sweet littke vase. I love both those flowers Donna!
Such a thoughtful post, Donna, and your little posy is just perfect to honour Mother Nature. Congrats on the book, I shall look it up. The cover and title are very tempting. Wishing you success and happy spring days
So glad you enjoyed the vase and thanks for your kind words regarding the book.
Aren’t they perfect for spring.
Oh, the Tulips are really special, Donna! And the arrangement is so lovely with the Leucojums draping over them. <3
Sometimes inspiration hits. Usually I just plonk but these felt right in this configuration. Someday I should learn how to actually arrange flowers.
What beautiful tiny blossoms. I like that you remembered Mother Nature, the grandest of all mothers.
She is always on my mind. I find solace in her. Glad you enjoyed the vase.
That’s a beautiful little tulip!
Perfect for naturalizing.
