My son turned 5 recently, and my husband made this lovely train cake for him. I thought it would be fun to use the food colouring in glass tumblers and buy simple white flowers to go in them. I guess this can double as a bit of a science experiment too, if you have flowers like daisies. These flowers — I think they are sweet peas; does anyone know? — don’t draw up the colour so it’s just for decoration. They are bright and happy the kids loved it…so did I. Just another idea up the sleeve for bringing a little colour and happiness into the home.

I was about to say they are Jonquils – one of my favourite flowers as they have a glorious scent
I was at Toombul shopping centre a couple of months ago and walked towards the lifts to go to Lincraft, when I could smell them at a florist shop and had to buy some to take home – they smelled (smelt?) devine on the train home 
They do smell absolutely wonderful!!!
I love these colourful little vases, what a cute idea.
Ah, spring, lovely!
