A Touch of Whimsy.


One summer sun, a sprig of blue delphinium, a hot pink zinnia, a bashful snapdragon, a bit of cottage yarrow, & a touch of baptisia foliage in an old jam jar. Can you hear the cicadas?

A Trip to the Bountiful:


Summer - what a great time for flowers! Pale yellow dahlias, lavender stackeys, white hydrangea, hybrid delphinium, Armenian basket flower, gooseneck, stock, thistle, dusty miller, & mini variegated pittisporum combine to create this recent birthday composition.

When Life Gives You Lemons...


Make Centerpieces. That's just what we did for a recent wedding. The bride-to-be wanted a citrus mix, so we arranged lemons with touches of red hypericum berries & camelia foliage on an eclectic collection of cake plates - some old, some new. The look ended up being quite bold.
