Flores en la Casa

Everybody in Spain seems to have a balcony...at least the places I visited...and the balconies are gloriously decorated with an abundance of flowers. Nothing fancy, for the most part they seem to use good old reliable geraniums, red, white and a lot of pink

and sometimes other colors

or other flowers for quite the show

or petunias

or something altogether different
Makes me wish I had a balcony...or I was still in Spain.

Now I'm just going to link on over to Jane's to see what everyone has in their house.

    Now that is charming.

    I hear you got to meet Alicia when you were in Spain.

    Is she as sweet as her blog? I imagine so.

    I wish you were still in spain and I was there with you!

    xo Jane

    I have always loved the geraniums in Europe--on balconies, trailing down worn steps, bright colors and low-maintenence. Such a beautiful array of photos. Take me and Jane next time please.

    Love those boxes. I like the simplicity of those old fashioned flowers. People make flower boxes too complex these days.

    Balconies are made for trailing flowers through. Love a cerise geranium.

      Ok, you've got me at cerise...are those the ones with the delicate small flowers and petals? I was instantly in love with them.

    Those are great. When you live in the city, you have to take advantage of every possible place to add some green and color. These people do it in spades. I have to say, though, that the white geraniums are really elegant. They're one of my summer favorites. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos!
