Do you ever stop and pick the wild flowers ?

In this time of the year, in my country, freesias start to appear. They are smaill bulb flowers very scented. When they bloom, I pick some of them to have in the living room.

Hi Marguicha. I love picking the wild flowers they smell so good. I have all kinds of flowers growing in our yard and love to put them in a vase in the house they make the house smell like flowers all day long. What do those flowers look like.

Hi Marguicha. I am like you I would rather have a plant instead of cut flowers. I have many flowers we planted in our yard to cut and put in vases. I love the way they make the house smell. Like it is a flower garden.

Hi Ann and welcome to my lot. The beltflower sounds beautiful. Haven't seen any flower that looks like that here. I have found a wild vine that has orange trumpets on them but they only grow in a certain kind of soil and we don't have that kind of soil on our land so I leave them where they are. For now anyway.

I didn't get to see your photos. I didn't get your response in my email. I was looking for something on here when I seen your response. But I will go look at them . I showed the picture to my husband and he don't know what they are called either. Do they grow on a vine? I think I have seen these before wish I knew what they were? Thanks for sharing.

I have grown flowers with little red star trumpets for many years in my garden and now they are just budding.I have taken some photos and I just upload one on mylot,you can have a look to my photos,there are peanuts at the left lower corner,can you see them?By the way,i don't know their real name,so I just call them red star.

Hi Cream. Don't you remember doing that as a child. I do it was some kind of game I think. That is the reason I love growing flowers so I can pick them and put them in a vase it makes the house smell so fresh when there are fresh flowers. Don't stop your children from picking the petals it is a fun thing to do. Get them to put the petals in a bowl and it will still smell fresh.

Hi Srganesh. I am old and still notice them and love to see the beautiful flowers. I guess that is how I keep myself feeling younger then I am. My husband said something the other day he told me I would never get old because of my childish way of looking at the flowers and nature. Don't let go of those childish things and stay young at heart.

Well said! Aging is related with the body and not to the mind.if we can retain our mentality like a child which exclaims at all the beauties of nature,we will never grow old and life will be simple and meaningful too. Sure,we all should have the patience to look around, what all things God has created for us.

Hi Srganesh. I don't want to ever over look what God gave us to see. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel old I keep myself busy so I don't feel like I can't move around.

Hi Beauty. Sure they look good in the wild but on the back roads not many people drive slow and enjoy the beauty of Gods creations.

Hi Hofferp. I don't think I would pick that flower either. I don't really care for flowers with thorns on them. Although our roses has thorns on them. I do love them.

Hi Setsuna. I think they make me relax too I guess that is why I love collecting the beautiful flowers that others thinks of weeds.

Hi Jules and welcome to my lot. I never thought about them being protected. But most of the flowers I pick are what others call weeds. I think they are beautiful and should be enjoyed by all. I don't pick more then what I think will make a nice bouquet. And most of the wild flowers I pick are in the weeds behind our home on our land. I will make a flower bed of these brown eyed susans this year. Just transplant them from one part of our yard and put them in a nice cleaned out spot in the front yard so people can enjoy the beauty of our home. Enjoy them get you a bouquet of them !
