Happy Monday! Can you believe it's JUNE already? School is out and the kids are so ready to start their summer fun. Our summer is jammed packed full already and I'm beginning to wonder if there will be any time to just relax. When I was a kid it seems that the summer days were endless. Now - time just passes so fast I'm afraid to blink. Last week, however, I took some time to just enjoy my home and garden. I have a flower bed on the east side of my house that is in full bloom with Calla Lillies. At least I think that's what these are. When I bought the house, the previous owner was an avid gardener and he planted these bulbs. Imagine my delight when they started peeping through the soil the first Spring I lived in the house. 
I'm really excited this year because the blooms are so abundant. I clipped a dozen for a cut flower arrangement and added some greenery from a holly bush to fill it out. The berries from the holly bush are green but I love the look of the pink and green together.
I had some pink plaid ribbon on hand and tied a simple bow around the opening of the vase.
These blooms are still healthy and vibrant and it's been a week since I clipped them. I love the color and shape of these flowers. So elegant.
I placed them on a table in my entry hall. There they wait to welcome me home from my busy and hectic schedule. Mr. Panache clipped another dozen for me yesterday and I probably have 2 or 3 dozen more in full bloom.
The best part is these lovely flowers were FREE! Sometimes it's nice to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasure of your own yard and the beauty God has so freely created in our world. Until I see you again,

I agree it is SO fun to see what will pop up in a NEW yard...and you really lucked out! Those callas are gorgeous....and to have so many!!! That's great!

Yep, those look like calla lilies to me. They're so beautiful, and you're lucky to have so many to clip to bring inside. Your holly sprigs reminds me that I have a large holly bush in my yard, and I'll have to try adding it to some flowers sometime. You should post those for Pink Saturday at How Sweet the Sound.
By the way, I love the cheetah lampshades!
I believe those are callas, too. I love this time of year to have fresh flowers in the house!
Those are sooo pretty! What a sweet way to show them too.
Blessings,

Alisa,
If you can believe this my last post has a photo of this same pink lily! Yours makes a truly beautiful and elegant arrangement. ~Cathy
Yes, these are calla lillies and they are so beautiful. Flowers alwasy seem to bright ones day.
I had calla lilies growing at my last house. I'd honestly forgotten how beautiful they are. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi Alisa, long time no chat! I've been away...and missing all of you! I love the pink callies....totally beautiful! Happy Wednesday! ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cup"
Those are so beautiful. I think a bouquet from the yard is always prettier than a florist bouquet. Isn't it fun to see the flowers perking up each spring? I have a hard time leaving them in the yard because I always want to cut them and bring them inside.
Amazing and beautiful i realy like and love it
I can't believe you have those blooming in your yard. I've only seen white ones at a florist. Enjoy!
I've never seen pink peace lilies; they are beautiful! Just got a bulb catalog the other day, will have to see if any are in there.
