A Summer Garden Floral Arrangement
In late summer our garden is filled with robust blooms of pink dinner plate dahlias and carpet roses. They seem to thrive on even the hottest of days and are a joy to arrange and bring indoors. Fresh flowers always add such life to a room!
Color Story: Ocean Inspired
On these hot summer days, airy ocean colors have a distinct appeal. I find myself bringing soft whites, pale teals and blushing beiges into our decor to lighten the look for the season.
Early Summer Peonies
Pink peony flowers are spectacular in early summer. I look forward to purchasing a bunch at the market to enjoy the large and showy blooms and their sweet floral scent.
The Changing Color of Hydrangeas
Hydrangea season is here at last and our side garden is now filled with glorious pink, purple and lavender blooms. Every year the plants get larger and now they are almost as tall as I am.
Spring Garden Floral Arrangements
Creating a spring garden floral arrangement using a mixture of homegrown and market flowers is a simple, inexpensive way to bring the spirit of the season into your home.
