Flowers for the Table



Lovely bouquet for lunch in the garden


How fortunate we are in summer to have flowers at hand for any occasion.  When planning flower arrangements in winter, we must buy flowers, which are so expensive and often limited in variety.  During spring and summer, all we must do is step outside to the garden with our clippers in hand to create a fresh, colorful bouquet to enhance our table.  Whether you prefer the simplicity of a single rose or a mass of colorful blossoms, they are yours for the taking.

For my son's wedding in August of 2006, white hydrangeas cut from my garden were tied with white ribbon and placed on each pew -- a simple, but lovely addition to the beautiful wedding.



"If thou of fortune be bereft
And in thy store there be but left
Two loaves, sell one and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul." -- James Terry White
