This morning I was out in the garden - seeing what was "available" for a bouquet - No roses blooming - but there were plenty of Queen Anne's lace, Tansy, Foxgloves, Pink Baby's Breathe, Larkspur and some kind of "Bush With Berries".
I don't like that FTD look where they
stick the same things in the same place.
My flower garden still has a little
of this and that...
Many years ago when dried flowers were all the rage I used dried tansy (the little yellow button looking flower in the herb family) so that's how it eventually ended up in my yard.
It can get "out of control" so I really don't want it in the back yard. Can't stay here on the buffet in the kitchen as my husband
has terrible allergies!
This bouquet and vase are fabulous; I want to grow foxgloves again, and love those blue delphiniums too. Your arrangement looks unique and a bit wild.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely bouquet and great photos too.
ReplyDeleteWha t a beautiful bouquet. love the foxglove.

Hello Dear Friend, your bouquet turned out marvelously! I love the combination of colors and flowers - atop your beautiful sideboard/buffet (?)
ReplyDeleteMy children and husband have allergies too so I have to be very careful - still fun to create ;)
I do appreciate you sharing with A Return to Loveliness,
God Bless,
Kathy
Bernideen, your home is simply beautiful! Love your floral bouquet! Thank you for stopping by; we haven't chatted in so long!

Beautiful, foxglove is another of my favorite flower.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous bouquet!
ReplyDelete***I am stopping by from A Delightsome Life and love your blog, have a great week! :)
I have some tansy in my garden, too. It is considered a noxious weed here in Colorado and you can not buy it in a garden center. I got my first start over 35 years ago, but lost it in one of our moves. Then a few years ago I got another start from a friend. It looks pretty in your bouquet! Your garden has certainly grown the past few summers and is looking so nice.♥♫
ReplyDeleteAdmiring your foxgloves .. something I've never been able to grow!
ReplyDeleteHi Bernideen
ReplyDeleteWe have a small lot too; I can't imagine the amount of dead-heading Carolyn has to do.
I recall the dried arrangements very well - dust collectors mostly.

That's a pretty bouquet and I love the foxglove. I am swooning over your pretty china displayed on the wall.

Hi Bernideen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I love the pretty floral vase and your cabinet is fabulous. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice week.
Blessings,

My delphiniums and foxgloves have been finished for awhile. Love them though. What a pretty floral arrangements. But what I really love is the teacup holder on the wall -so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBernideen,
ReplyDeleteYour garden bouquet is just magnificent. Thank you for sharing it. You not only grow the prettiest flowers but you sure can arrange them too.

Simply beautiful! I don't bring bouquets inside much either. My cat always wants to eat them! I can bring them in if I place them on the fireplace mantel; she hasn't figured out how to get up there.
