Carnation
The main flower in a flower arrangement that Dick gave me to celebrate
our 45th wedding anniversary. These are the very first flowers he's ever
bought and given to me for an anniversary so they are quite special
The "Yvonne" carnation is very similar to this bloom.

Flowers from the Southern Hemisphere
A friend gave us a HUGE bunch of wildflowers that he grows himself, I thought I'd share part of the bunch with you. The main flower in this part of the bunch is a protea (from South Africa), the others are heathlike flowers (Aus), e.g., thryptomene & t-tree types. Many Australian wildflowers have tiny leaves, they can withstand extended periods of dry and will survive drought, though many have a short lifespan. So many set seed and pop up somewhere else & that's okay if you can quickly move them while they're still small. When you bring a big bunch indoors the scent is wonderful!

In a vase together, you can work out the different varieties if you look closely. :)
(best in original format if you have time)
Here's a sample of the muscari that are flowering in the rose garden right now.
