Today, the last day of August 🧡

“August rain: the best of summer gone, and the new fall not yet born, the odd uneven time.” — Sylvia Plath

Poppies and Gladiolus are the two birth flowers for the month of August- which together symbolize strength, moral integrity, remembrance, and imagination.

*Belated* Mother’s Day Flowers 💓

I put this arrangement together for Mother’s Day this year. Just three items- Tulips, Hydrangeas, and greenery.

I love the way this gal turned out! đź’“

I am getting ready for a baby shower coming up, and have been looking through old pictures for inspiration- these photos are from a baby shower I did flowers for a few years back. I was searching my page for these pictures and realized that these flowers never got a permanent post ?!?! What was I thinking?!

Seeing these pictures again, I am reminded of how pretty everything turned out! My dear friend was the host and she had every detail thought of and covered. There was a banquet table with a view of the golf course, elegant place settings, lovely flowers, what a beautiful day!

August and Poppies!
Poppies are one of the birth flowers for the month of August ♥️
The Poppy can be used to symbolize remembrance, peace, sleep, dreams, and imagination.

These pictures are from a few months ago when I was in Seattle and I found a Poppy as big as my head!

Water Lillies! 🪷

Water Lillies are one of the birth flowers for the month of July.
I think these flowers are absolutely gorgeous and fascinating and magical.

Water Lillies are aquatic flowering plants with large, round, waxy leaves (lily pads) that float on the water’s surface; with stunning, often fragrant, flowers that bloom on the water’s surface.

The Water Lily symbolizes purity, rebirth, and enlightenment 🪷

“Finish every day and be done with it. For manners and for wise living it is a vice to remember. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. To-morrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day for all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Letter to his daughter, Ellen
1854

June Babes! Roses are one of the birth flowers for the month of June 🌹

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
-Alphonse Karr from “A Tour Round My Garden” 1856

~Forgotten Flowers~ 🧡🧡🧡

I found this old video I made of an arrangement I put together, don’t think I ever posted the video.

One of my aunts retired a few years ago (her favorite color is Orange 🍊) - My Mom picked out these flowers from and asked me to put them together for her to give to my aunt.
I like sometimes when other people pick out the flowers that they like, and bring them to me; it forces me to work with different textures and colors that I wouldn’t have necessarily chosen or picked out myself.

I think this arrangement actually turned out really well and everything went together beautifully! Those orange roses are so pretty! 🧡
