Imitation is the best form of flattery, they say, and for this post, I blatantly imitated Sharon of My French Country Home in making a mood board of what's happening in my garden these days. I went out in between the raindrops and took a few clippings of shrubs and flowers. A very few flowers.
Viburnum and moss seem to go together well.
Snowdrops on a salal leaf.
More viburnum. Such delicate little flowers.
Everything is fresh and damp after all the rain we've been having. The slugs are happy, too. I discovered a tiny one on a leaf, probably wondering where he was.

Hi Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful and colorful notecards of nature you've shared for Vee's party. I love each one and would be happy to send or receive them.
Hi Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteI see you decided on some wonderful notecards for Vee's party! I just love nature and all that it has to offer. You have created a wonderful mood board. Hugs - Donna
Oh, what a lovely mood board and just what I needed to see today. Nothing green and growing here - still in the throes of winter of course, but your garden has me dreaming of Spring. Thanks so much for sharing, Lorrie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice idea to show off what's blooming in the garden. I sure love those viburnum flowers. Beautiful photos for note cards my friend! I think they are a little different and I like that! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI did hear birds singing today... now when I see such beauty out my window then I will know it is truly spring!
ReplyDeleteOh my! I love this idea and I may just have to play copycat, although my photography skills lag sadly behind yours.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I might have to copy this idea too; it looks like fun. And you found so much out there at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your Card Party, and these are just the most adorable and clever cards... Makes me smile all over.
ReplyDeleteOh these are very cool. I like them a lot. Something to try here in a few months.
ReplyDeleteLorrie...these are wonderful. There is not much growing in my yard at the moment. The moss in your photo is similar to what we have in our yard instead of grass. We live on a heavily wooded lot and grass doesn't grow well...but this moss flourishes! Lovely set of note cards :)
ReplyDeleteThose mood boards are really nice and they make interesting photo cards. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a mood board, a nice way to share snippets from the garden. I'd like to try this when our spring flowers arrive, if I can wait another 8-10 weeks. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful selections. Love the mood board idea. Have a great evening.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so pretty. Isn't it nice to finally see some flowers out? If only the weather would settle down!
ReplyDeleteOh, so beautiful! All we see here is white (snow), so it was a great pleasure to see some blooms. I love the mood board. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice choices for Vee's February Note card party!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a mood board! Lovely selections, and they make me yearn for spring weather.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - maybe someone else will be copying that one day . Love the way your arranged everything.
ReplyDeleteYour photos just pop!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful you have so much happening in your garden already.
I admit I envy you!
Lucky you to have this much colour in the garden in February! Beautiful idea and notecards, Lorrie.
ReplyDeleteI love the viburnum photo. The colors in all the pictures are so fresh.
ReplyDeleteA bit of this and a bit of that neatly arranged sure made for some wonderful notecards!
ReplyDelete(Glad the slugs didn't get included in the notecards...ha!)
You are very good with this blogging . Every post is so interesting and fresh . Pictures so bright . So much happening in your garden , and it's Fegruary !
ReplyDeleteI think you might have set a trend!
ReplyDeleteI love your nature mood boards ... wonderful! Hints of spring .. yippee!
ReplyDeleteOh I just love your mood board from the garden. It looks so fresh and yes, a hint of Spring.
ReplyDeleteWhat a love card it makes.
These are lovely, Lorrie!
ReplyDeleteFor those of us buried in snow, it is a delight to see green growing things!

I love these kind of mood boards or photos!!! Have you seen this blog? http://stillblog.net/
ReplyDeleteOh, I love these! Your plants are lovely on the mood board, even without a preponderance of flowering things.
ReplyDeleteThe mood board is a neat idea! Very nice photos for note cards!
ReplyDeleteI can see that you have a lot of things springing forth in your garden already, Lorrie. My snowbanks are growing, but that's about all at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty how you have the items arranged and I popped over to the link provided to see you inspiration. Lovely.

Lovely photos for a set of notecards! I'm on the other end of the country (N.B.) and my garden is buried under feet of snow... no color here yet.. just plain ole white! lol Thanks for the taste (and hope) of spring!
ReplyDeleteLovely flower photos, and such pretty arrangements. I am just catching up and wanted to say congratulations on the birth of your adorable new grandson too.

Whoever had the idea first, it’s a very imaginative one. The tiny flowers of February don’t make a great impact on the shrub, so separating them and displaying them like this is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteLorrie,
ReplyDeleteYour February garden is beautifully bright and misty and colourful and green. And uplifting, of moods!
Such a charming arrangement!
Poppy
What a fun idea and you have lots of colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like the first one with all the little bits artfully displayed.
ReplyDeleteThis was incredible Lorrie! Spring is coming--your photos make me believe it is so :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Aimee
oooh - a mood board is a lovely thing. At least, yours is!
