Ida’s Notebook
Now is the time to make bouquets and
more bouquets if you enjoy that kind of thing.
I love to surprise my family with flowers they
dou’t know I have in the garden.
Yesterday I put larkspur in a vase, but in
stead of the regular blue ones I added several
pink and some pink-lavender ones.
My dwarf dahlias which I started from
seed are an unending source of blooms. They
are all the colors of the rainbow and make
nice gitfs for friends.
