Today's Flowers


. . . are the petals of flowers received by my human companion Lui which she will store and made into potpourri. Look at the dried and preserved bougainvillae flowers I posted last time . . .




And these are the petals of the roses which will be dried and recycled . . .

I have to keep watch so that the birds and my playful brother Sweepy will not touch it.


After a few months, these flowers can now be used. Lui said the dried flowers gives a nice scent when it is dried properly and preserved. I do not really like nice scents. Animals prefer natural scents like sweat and my brother Sweepy's drool, the scent of our warm furs when we are relaxed or sleeping, and the friendly scent of my human companions and the delicious scent of the meal that Lui prepares for us.



Lui will light a candle beside a glass filled with some dried flowers.



Lui said this arrangement gives the right mood when she is working doing sample plates for her painting workshop:

I think the dried flowers, the warm light of the candle, Lui's singing, and her beautiful painting puts me in the right mood as well . . . For more inspiring flower arrangements, go visit TodaysFlowers!
