On my windowsill

A handmade pottery bowl with tiny aqua-centered mushroom caps sits on a windowsill. The bowl contains Dutch bulbs (autumn crocus is the American equivalent) that bloom without water. Click images to enlarge.

While some bulbs are flowering now, others will take a few weeks to bloom.

It's a beautiful bowl, one that took great patience to make. It looks perfect with the bulbs -- I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like that. It's a very organic and tactile combination.

Those are stunning. Love the colors and that they need neither dirt nor water. I might not be able to kill those -- that'd be a refreshing change of pace!

The multipetalled croci (is that correct? Crocusus? -es? Oy) are spectacular and so unusual. Gorgeous as usual, m'dear.

Such beautiful contrasts....soft and rough, dark and pale. Both beautiful and together sublime.

That bowl, is making me jealous. I love it!!! It's stunning! Thanks for your Thanksgiving wishes, you are thought of today with thanks, of course.
Like those flowers some people are late to bloom. I'm one of them. Some of us just find ourselves later in life I guess, right?
Have a wonderful flower filled week ahead Tara. xo

They are beautiful! I didn't know they would bloom without water. I must try this. I have some growing in my garden and just love them.

The bowl is as fascinating as the contents.

The bulbs are so pretty are they a type of crocus? I've never heard of bulbs that are meant to flower without planting or water.
