It isn't a glass table top, but we have a pair of Italian bright orange translucent polypropylene "Eames" style chairs in our conservatory, and I used one of them as the background. I do not normally like orange but they bring a lot of bright warm reflections into the room even when the sun is not shinning. The bright orange seemed to work well with the yellow of the tulips.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-57203478498157452442013-03-16T09:16:02.616+00:002013-03-16T09:16:02.616+00:00That is very kind of you to say so Gina - thank yo...That is very kind of you to say so Gina - thank youRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-35990518311330087542013-03-15T23:46:18.564+00:002013-03-15T23:46:18.564+00:00Dear Rosemary, These wonderful roundels are absolu...Dear Rosemary, These wonderful roundels are absolutely stunning, each and everyone of them. ox, Gina Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-11084388547106076422013-03-15T18:43:27.000+00:002013-03-15T18:43:27.000+00:00No not really Lala.

Do you remember they then announced a water hose ban. Our daffodils are out as we have missed out on all the snow here in the west. We have had plenty of sun but it is very chilly. I have been surprised to see blogs in the south of France with lots of snow this week.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-80795848787495625242013-03-15T18:24:49.011+00:002013-03-15T18:24:49.011+00:00Dear Betty - the last plant is Viburnum tinus (Lau...Dear Betty - the last plant is Viburnum tinus (Laurustinus) which seems to cope with whatever the winter throws in its direction.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-84220460113309965892013-03-15T18:06:14.449+00:002013-03-15T18:06:14.449+00:00I think that the background colour and the bright ...I think that the background colour and the bright sunshine yesterday help.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-41395613317385503962013-03-15T18:05:23.302+00:002013-03-15T18:05:23.302+00:00The weather is playing tricks, I have been surpris...The weather is playing tricks, I have been surprised to see that they have snow in the south of France on some blogs.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-90868100036774118202013-03-15T16:22:28.050+00:002013-03-15T16:22:28.050+00:00Such a burst of beauty ! and i thought here we wer...Such a burst of beauty ! and i thought here we were nearly in spring, i see you are happily approaching summer !<br />Have a wonderful week end :-)<br />LalaMy Castle in Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14572760890022593531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-3510488631681028032013-03-15T15:49:42.423+00:002013-03-15T15:49:42.423+00:00Dear Rosemary - My favorites of your current photo...Dear Rosemary - My favorites of your current photos are the ones with the orange reflective backgrounds.
