MUTTI



Italian MUTTI is no Mama and got a second life caring for plants, let´s go a tad romantic today, how about that?

I used to call my Mother "Mutti", my Brother called her "Mami".
Crazy, huh?

And, oh, wouldn´t you like to come home to this?



Or sit here?



Or step down, take your lille boat and have a tour on river Oker?



Ahhh.
We went for coffee and Henry approved!



More to come on this visit :-)
Happy Saturday to you!

How did/do you call your parents?
Dad I called "Papi", Bro said "Papa".
How come Siblings take different names? Anyone an idea?

Bertiebo, you change that? Funny. We stuck to our version, I did.

Tom said...

...such a clever planter! The rose arch over the gate is indeed romantic. With all of those plants is there room on that balcony for people? Lovely waterfront property! Enjoy your weekend Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Tom, I hope the people still fit on their balcony! In the city it´s all a bit smaller... Thank you, enjoy your weekend, too :-)

I called them Mum & Dad. Those flower areas look wonderful!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, Grace, this year our balcony just looks sad.
Too cold, too dry, too... ugly.
Boring is fine, don´t you think? :-)

I love how the cans were repurposed and I simply adore the flowers on the balcony. These are stunning and incredible, Iris. Loved Henry today, too.

Bill said...

Those flowers make the entrance very inviting. Mom and dad is what I called my parents. Enjoy your evening. Raining and raining hard all day, send sun over this way. :)

The flowers are so pretty and perfect for summer! I love the idea of using large recycled cans. They make great flowerpots. Hope you are having a great weekend. Hugs-Erika

Beautiful houses and balcony with all those flowers.
Cute way to grow herbs (I think) in those big cans.

It seems to be a traditional thing, with females ending in "i' and males ending in "a". Or vice versa I was told this by a Polish woman in the shoe factory who said if I had been raised in Germany, my surname would have ended in "a" as I was female even though the spelling ended in "i".
Maybe it is different in Germany, but certainly confusing.
I called my parents Mum and Dad.

Oh I love these plants Iris!!! It makes me super happy on this hour break that I have from work! I miss my garden so much, I'm trying to work on having more plants soon :)
