The Greatest Mother's Day Gifts

 Bonjour from Campagne Maison

Thank you, Sammy II and Jeremey, for teaching me the joys of motherhood! God gave each of you to me at a time in my life when I needed you most. Your love has, and always will, sustain me.    

Out of all the best Mother's Day gifts I've ever received from my children, these are three of the greatest!

AND, a very Special Mother's Day wish to my mom who made all these gifts possible.

Beauties from Le Jardin

Bonjour from Campagne Maison

Hydrangea, Red and Pink Rose, Day Lilly, Bachelor's Buttons, Lambs Ear

The farmhouse needed a dose of sunshine today! These are a few of my favorite garden varieties. Sadly, I do not know their proper names but they have all started out strong this year.

Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit today! We love having company.

Centaurea cyanus

Bonjour from Campagne Maison

Centaurea cyanus, commonly referred to as:

 Bachelor's Button, Bluebottle, Cornflower, Garden Cornflower

The Centaurea cyanus is a member of the Asteraceae family with only disc like flowers. The outer discs are somewhat bell-shaped, with sharp pointed lobes, more frequently blue in color.

Family: Asteraceae – Aster family

Genus Common Name: Knapweed

Native Status: Introduced

This introduced species was brought over to North America as an ornamental by immigrants from Europe, and is commonly cultivated. It is now found wild in every state except Alaska, and is also found in most of Canada. 

In its native southern Europe, this flower grows among the grain field, giving it the "Cornflower" common name.

In Tennessee it is considered weedy and/or invasive by some authorities. In massive growth, I think it rivals the Texas Bluebonnets. (Has this AR native become a Tennessean?)

Thanks for stopping by the farmhouse for a visit today! We love having company.

Au revoir,
