A Fall Floral Treat
Amazingly, autumn has already arrived with yesterday the official first day of fall! The summer garden is now in its final phases and I am clearing out debris of a successful vegetable harvest.
Fresh Flowers Styled in a Long Wooden Bowl
Today is a beautiful winter day here in California with the sun shining through the icy cold air. I'm finally getting time to share some floral fun after a very busy last few months.
Spring Garden Floral
The early spring garden is now dressed in shades of pink and white as our cymbidium orchids, anemones and camellias take the stage. They are lovely in the landscape but also make beautiful cut flowers for arranging!
Winter Decorating with Dried Hydrangeas
The winter months are quiet as I prepare the garden for spring and await the first blooms of the season. It is always a challenge to keep the vases filled until the garden starts to produce flowers for cutting, so I often use dried or artificial flowers this time of year.
Creating a Fall Garden Floral
Our fall garden is beginning to bloom at last as we welcome October with cool weather and raindrops. It is a beautiful time of year to design arrangements from the garden, and creating a fall floral using homegrown flowers mixed with a market bouquet is an easy way to enjoy the garden indoors.
Peony Season...
Peony season is here and I'm enchanted with all the beautiful blooms! These lovely pink stems were brought to me by a friend who has grown them for years.
