I can’t pretend these are “good” floral designs, just opportunities to get the most out of the garden–seeing it outside but also bringing it inside.



Westerland Rose, Europeana rose, Boxwood stems, Leycesteria formosa–which I won’t bother with again, it only lasts one day.




Octavia Hill rose, Karl Rosenfeld Peony, Turk’s cap lily, Euphorbia characias, bracken fern.
I love this one: Octavia Hill Rose, Westerland Rose, Cinco de Mayo Rose, Julia Child Rose.




Jude the Obscure Rose, Ladies Mantle, Hypericum ‘Albury Purple’, bracken fern. Unfortunately the smell of the Ladies Mantle was so powerful I had to remove it. Beautiful filler, just not for me.


And finally, Sarah Bernhardt Peony.
