Simply beautiful.

I always think of carnations as everyday sort of flowers. The kind of thing I over look in supermarkets because they seem so ordinary and commonplace.

These two aren't though. My best friend bought me a big bunch when she came to see me for a cuppa and a catch up earlier this week and these two blooms were too short to go into the big vase. I've put them into a little bud vase by my bed to remind me how simplest things, like carnations and gossip over tea with a friend, are sometimes the most beautiful.
