the complexion of spring

You can't go wrong with pink and white for mother's day...

A friend of mine took some pictures of me arranging.

I love the arc and drape of this arrangement and all the textures I was able to incorporate. These roses were fun because as they bloomed, they lost their purple and became slightly more pink and khaki - ambiguously colored and curious to look at. The recipient of this arrangement used to play the Bass, so I included a guitar string envelope as an envelope for the card.The brand of string is Earthwood - how apt!

Boyfriend roses, birch bark, sponge mushrooms, Australian lepto, pussy willow, variegated mini pittosporum, variegated euonymous.

Valentine's Day Flowers

Another springy arrangement featuring french heather and dutch tulips. One of my favorite things about tulips is that they continue to grow after they've been cut. Also, that the buds open and close. Every time I design with them I marvel at them.

What better way to spend Valentine's day than with flowers!

 Roses are a favorite on Valentine's Day, but I love including spring flowers like in this tulip and french heather bouquet!
