Florali

from garden to vase

 

Last weekend we did bouquets for 6 beautiful kitchens on the Lafayette Junior's Kitchen tour. Here's one of those bouquets...

 

I picked some whole heads from my lettuce patch. I'm proud to report that these plants were started from seeds I saved last year. If you want to get into seed saving, lettuce is a good place to start...they are very giving and easy.

 

And some sweet peas. These just happened to be volunteers that I moved to grow on the iron sphere.

 

And the arrangement...

all mixed up in an old copper collander.

there are no words...

for a day like yesterday. 14 hours of arranging flowers non-stop. And I think I've created a new addiction--afternoon iced coffee. Of course no time for photos, but I did manage to grab my phone just before this one went out the door...

One of Darwin's beauties with pink lilac, white peonies, patience roses and lavender clematis in a campo de fiori pot. Hard to tell the scale, but it was about 3ft high.

I rarely show photos of behind the scenes (should do more), but couldn't resist this at the end of the day...

happy compost pile this week.

 

Happy Mother's Day to all our dear Moms!

out and about on the web

 

When I first started Florali, over ten years ago, and was working out of my home, a dear friend and advisor asked how I would let people know about my new business. My response? --  on the internet -- and so the birth of the first Florali website. Now, many iterations later, we have just completed and launched a new version and a new look. Please pop by and have a look - florali.com.

and of course we can also be found here:

A tip about tumblr...if you want to see all the postings in one quick glance click on Archive, or type in /archive after the blog url. In our case it would be: http://florali.tumblr.com/archive/
