Did a bit of a wander around the garden and picked a few flowers to make up a 'Tussy Mussy' .. love the first signs of the summer flowers.. Rugosa Rose, Honesty, Mutabilus Rose, Lavender, Thyme, and Lily of the Valley shrub.. they smell devine... BOB
I love to see how you are getting the colourful flowers as ours have died off! One of the great things about 365 is how we can share the seasons!
By the way never heard the phrase Tussy mussy!
@maggiemae@mharris19@dide@merrelyn@louannwarren@joansmor@pamknowler@jamibann@kali66@onewing when Pam said she had not heard of a Tussy Mussy I googled to see exact meaning.
Made in Victorian times when people didn't wash often and worn on outings to Church or the Theatre to smell when the 'body odour' got too much. Sometimes called a 'Nosegay'. Think Tussy Mussy sounds better

Tussy mussy....what a lovely description. What a wonderful explanation but it’s a beautiful bouquet for a horrid purpose...glad we wash more often these days! 🤭😷
