Trying to decide if I can find space to squeeze fi Trying to decide if I can find space to squeeze five more peony plants in the yard before the ground freezes... My brain says no, I don't have a great spot for them. But then I think back to gorgeous spring days and pretty cakes like C & A's, and I decide tomorrow I WILL find a place to put some more 🤣 📷 @larissamariephoto
Last weekend was a beautiful one! Lots of greener Last weekend was a beautiful one! Lots of greenery, tons of texture and floral in white with hints of wine and marine blue... it was a stunning combination for a wonderful couple. Congrats Katie & Kelly!
Fall flowers are still flourishing and I've got my Fall flowers are still flourishing and I've got my fingers crossed the frost holds off for a couple more weeks. This mornings garden clippings include ninebark, tardiva hydrangea, roses 'Abraham Darby' and 'Sally Holmes', zinnias 'Queen Lime Orange', 'Profusion Double Deep Salmon' and 'Zinderella Lilac', snapdragon 'Costa Silver' and lisianthus 'Little Summer Orange'. There were also some celosia, sedum and cherry tomatoes hiding in there for added texture. I'm loving these autumn blooms.
Dahlia 'Bumble Rumble' is a cute collarette I'll d Dahlia 'Bumble Rumble' is a cute collarette I'll definitely bee keeping in the garden for next season (see what I did there 😂). Not only do the daisy looking blooms add a certain "cuteness" to informal arrangements, but the bumbles truly do love it!
Days like today renew my love for floral design. I Days like today renew my love for floral design. I spent the morning teaching my Floral Design Basics workshop. During the hustle and bustle of wedding season it's so easy to get wrapped up in just getting arrangements out the door, but these one on one workshops require me to slow down which really makes me remember why I love this so much. One of the things I focus on during this workshop is non-traditional vases and mechanics for these unique vessels. I think it's such a wonderful gift to be able to take cherished items and turn then them into floral displays. This bowl was a flea market find from Warrens Cranberry Festival I got on a girl's weekend with @casaandco @sprout_studio and @marenannmisner. Every time I design an arrangement in it it makes me think of these amazing women and I smile every time I look at it. The first photo was my sample arrangement. Scroll to see one of the beautiful arrangements made this morning by C! Thank you for taking the time to wander the gardens with me this morning.
The front terrace rainbow garden is always one of The front terrace rainbow garden is always one of my favorite features to plant each year. I spend hours pouring over seed catalogs each winter looking for new goodies to incorporate to bring it to life. You can hardly see the far end, but it fades into blues and purples then pinks further down the lot past the green hosta + nicotiana. I've struggled to find long flowering blue varieties to work in. It's my mission to find something blue for next year!
