Flowers for the Lunar New Year...

Today, 9th February 2013, Saturday, was a beautiful day... 
Skies were blue... cloudless... windless... so cool and pleasant...
Yes, the white plums are beginning to bloom... 
And this one is dedicated to Autumn Belle... 
These 'Sen-ryo' (Sarcandra glabra) are not from my garden... 
Got them as leftovers from an Ikebana class...
Yes, this freshly picked 'sudachi' (Citrus sudachi) is from our garden... 
We normally use them green, in our cooking...
This chrysanthemum is also part of the leftovers from the Ikebana class...
And my suweeto haato picked this Narcissus up from the hills in one of her walks recently... 
Ooh, its fragrance.... so sweet... 
Happy Lunar New Year to those of you who celebrate the event...
