Scarves Scarf of the Day 2022 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[orchard]

Today I'm wearing another Kermit Oliver design that has birds and flowers around the border. The Caesar Kleberg Wildlife Conservation limited edition of La Vie Sauvage du Texas. Once again I'm stumped as to the identity of most of the blossoms, but thanks to yesterday's study of Passiflores, Oliver's passion flower jumped out at me. And, I had to include the adorable goldfinch.

I'd like to focus on one other blossom, this pretty aster, and tell you my story about this plant.

This is Gaillardia pulchella, also known as Indian Blanket, Firewheel, or Girasol Rojo. This internet photo was taken at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. There are legends about this flower, including one where the wife of a Native American chief wove a blanket for her husband in order to pray for his safe return. The threads were red and orange, like the flower.

This beautiful flower is native to much of the United States, including where I live. I first encountered it many years ago when I offered to plant flowers next to my flying club's airport hangar. I chose native wildflowers and these plants did quite excellent, and for several years we had beautiful blooms. Then, one spring an airport maintenance person was out spraying weeds and noticed these plants coming up that were clearly not grass. He put so much weed killer on them that nothing grows there to this day. Thus ended my small attempt at airport beautification.

Rocking my Duo Cosmique with an emphasis on displaying the large peony and other florals since mine are starting to bloom!

 

[HScarfCollector]

What vibrant flowers form your gardenDo you have a photo of Cavale Joyuse flat? TIA!

Here is the lovely forest vegetation of Au Coeur de la Vie, including orchids and "flesh eating plants" ( according to H's Story Behind). I think I will concentrate on orchids! @xincinsin already posted background information on those beauties...

I stopped in my tracks here. Oh my! Brilliant way of hiding the border as @Snausages said. We both need deets on how you did this. And is this the vibrant one with black border?

wow the first one is so ethereal. And the second is so so cool in the gray tones. And against the acqua top.

Herbier de Gavarnie

inspiring w the striped top. It pulls the color right out of the scarf too.

That tree is spectacular. And Index Bromeliaciae -what a beauty! Oh my. I love your sweater, too, a perfect color to pair with your newest floral acquisition. Speaking of acquisitions, here is my newest, thus becoming @LKBNOLA’s twin once more. Les Nouveaux Amoreaux de Paris.
View attachment 5402277How I managed to acquire this is quite a story, IMHO. I saw it on Buyma, but it was, predictably, overpriced. So I looked on US H.com and it indicated it was in stores only. I started putting in addresses - Boston, NYC, Chicago, and on. No luck. So I called H.com and the rep said it was sold out. Undeterred, I started trying California, and guess what? Palo Alto had one! So it pays to persevere. The SA at the store was lovely to me, too. I have always wanted this design but not the gav or the 90. When I saw @LKBNOLA model it recently, I fell in love with the bandana format.

oh! I am right there with you . I should have jumped on this format online. I was on a hard 70 ban and was apparently good about it Bc it kept me from this 55? Or is it a 70? I am hoping to find it for close to retail On resale market. I loved all the colors. I think the blue one the most, maybe. I love your pairing w the top and LoVE the jewelry choice.

haha. Never knew that video existed! Thanks for sharing haha.

Awwwww ty! Got this at the FSH mothership - talk about meta! The necklace (and a couple bracelets) came from Turkey (oooof cannot recall the city) which is one of the best trips I’ve ever taken (Alaska and Cairns and Spain also clamoring for top spots on the My Favorite Trip list)

oooooo love to hear about travel. Seville and south of Spain, and Alaska, are top top of my list. I remember looking at slides of my grandparents in the south of Spain with all the moorish influences. I have always been broke when I traveled so I only collected postcards haha. So smart to do jewelry! Gorgeous necklace with that scarf.

Au Coeur de la Vie.
One of the most beautiful H scarves depicting the heart of life with flowers, plants and animals.





Jardins d'Hiver 2015 issue.

Extract from the H booklet:
Evoking the Garden of Eden, this composition takes inspiration from plant tapestries called verdures that were fashionable at the close of the Middle Ages in Europe. Legendary gardens bloom within it, issuing an invitation to linger.
The hanging gardens of Babylon, one of the seven wonders of the world, overlook a labyrinth of trimmed topiary.





Jardin de Soie by Christine Henry, renowned for her distinctive floral designs.

Extract from the H booklet:
To design this scarf, Christine Henry immersed herself in the precious collections of the Musée des Tissus et des Arts Décoratifs in Lyon. Medieval tapestries, antique tunics and extremely rare screens have inspired this silk garden with its sumptuous bestiary. Byzantine animals, Chinese shrubs, Russian griffins and Indian foliage intertwine, celebrating the artistic exchange between East and West.

Yesterday I wore Fleurs de Giverny. I love the flowers in it. And that water Lilly . My 9th Hermes scarf which says it all. My first 12 I made no mistakes. Patting myself on the back for that ha. Made many mistakes after.

Some archive of what I consider my true ‘floral’ scarves, and those with that one flower that just does it for me and grabbed me at hello. I‘ll thumbnail. I wish I could have participated more in this week. I love flowers.
