Turning 38 is much worse than turning 37. It’s been a hell of a year, lemme tell you. I’d write the details, but it’s my birthday and I want to stay in a good mood.
This year I got the biggest gifts-a Mustang and a refrigerator. Yep.
And flowers, the prettiest bouquet I have ever seen. All my favourites are bunched in there-and if anyone could tell me what the dark purple ones are (no, not the irises), they look like lupins but they’re not lupins, please tell me.
Nice way to greet the day.
Thanks to everyone that made it a memorable birthday! And thanks for the outpouring of love, right back at ya!

they look like they could be snap dragons..but it’s sort of hard to tell in the picture…oh and HAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYY BIIIIRRRRRRRTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHDDDDAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oops…also meant possibly verbenia..
Verbena…nope. The purple flowers are like frilly little poofs, but they go up the stem, lots of them close together.
And thanks! :)
Those other purple flowers are called Stock. Such a lovely bouquet, Happy Birthday!
BIRTHDAY! IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
I hope it was a good one, eh!
xx
They’re Professor Lupins – when they’re not flowers they’re professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Or something. I’m weird.
But weird or not, I hope you have a great year following this terrific birthday.
happy birthday!!
Happy Birthday Caitlin! I don’t know you in person of course, but I think you’re lovely. In fact, I think you are the only BME drama-related “big name” I genuinely like and admire and can read without ever being annoyed by! And goodness knows the internet is full of annoying people (I’m probably one of them :( )
Congratulations, happy birthday!!!!
Jess is right, stock! Thanks Jess. I’d tried doing flower id websites but nothing worked. It IS a nice bouquet and I’m trying to make it last.
Ashley, Rebekah, Sarah, Rosie and Janet, thank you very much!
[...] around to figure out what good flower shops I could find that were open before 9AM to get some birthday flowers, and today I left early because Nefarious wanted to get to school as soon as the doors opened, [...]
Happy birfday! The flowers are beautiful :)
Thanks Steph. There’s barely any flowers left now, apparently I am no good at keeping cut flowers for very long.
They look like swamp iris to me. Here’s to a super awesome #38!
