The Hunt for Floral Danica
Oh my goodness you guys, I am furious right now! As I look out my home office window I am seeing SNOW! You read that correctly snow! I am so upset right now. My Canadian chokecherry tree is leaning over to the side. He looks so sad. Just this weekend I was out smelling his sweet floral scent and looking at his beautiful white and creamy blooms. The same for my lilac bushes. The purple buds are beginning to come out and now everything is covered in snow!
I feel like screaming! And in a few days, we are suppose to be back up to 60 degrees! I am so mad right now but let’s talk about something else I love and that is china.

I saw this beautiful china pattern in the Flowers & Gardens Victoria Classica Magazine in July 2020. I love this design. It is called the Royal Copenhagen Flora Danica collection and it is extremely expensive!
If you read some of the information about this china you will quickly learn that each piece is handpainted and each one is different! Now how fantastic is that! You ladies should know that I have already checked my local Facebook Marketplace section to see if anyone has a listing for any piece. I will be checking often and I hope to stumble on some plates. Fingers crossed!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope that none of you have snow right now! This is dreadful! I will be covering my bushes tonight because I think we are due for one more freeze and hopefully that will be it.
Let me know in the comments section below if you had snow these last few days or if there is a china print that you have been after for some time now. I would love to know what it is. Have a great Wednesday.
Indy is so wrong for snow right now. Ugh! I have had many experiences with spring snow growing up in Massachusetts, so I understand your pain Mrs Shockley. Hopefully the poor tender plants and blooms won’t be too damaged.
I’ve seen this china on Scully and Scully website it is certainly gorgeous. My set that I adore is Rosenthal Pompadour Courtship. For reasons unknown that particular rose pattern is not readily available. They have a similar pattern called Moss Rose, it’s not the same. I only have 2 pieces right now. I’d be happy if I get 1 full place setting of it. Speaking of china, your set you found had something called a covered vegetable…is that just a serving dish or can it be put into the oven?
Ms. Tracey…. and it wasn’t just small pieces of snow it was HUGE pieces of snow! The good thing is that today was better. Still cold but much better. I checked on my lilac bushes and they are still hanging on. We are suppose to be up in the ’70s next week. I hope that helps!
I looked up your pattern and that is lovely! What a beautiful print. I found a few pieces on Ebay. You may check there. Yes, my vegetable dish is just for serving not for oven use. It is lovely. I hope I can use it during the holidays.
Thank you for explaining what the covered vegetable was and the ebay suggestion. 😉 It did get cold here in GA 32 this morning and yesterday as well. The heat actually kicked back on. I was shocked. Wacky Weather Week all over. I’d like more warmth but it will be melting season soon here in the south🥵 and I’ll want some cooler weather.
