To me everything still looks so tiny and asleep. But with a little digging I found loads of wonderful ingredients to pair with the flowers from our greenhouse.
Snippets of Akebia and Honeysuckle vines, handfuls of glacus Thalictrum foliage, an armload of bush Honeysuckle and fragrant pink Viburnum buds….. pure bliss.

Sign up nowBelinda~ Oh, I believe others are starting to catch on but yes it's been a slow rumble for sure. How could you ever go back to leather fern, crappy mums and imported stiff roses. There truly is no comparison. We just have to stay with it and spread the word. I often feel like the pied piper :)
My motto, "build it and they will come"
This bunch of garden gorgeousness just sums up all I am trying to achieve really, I just believe that garden material has a texture and naturalness that sets it apart, I can't help but see it makes for a completely different feel. Hard to put into words, but using those different types of plants, not sold by regular florists, just changes the whole vibe? Am I nuts or do others get it?x
Pure bliss is right!
How beautiful. These are my sort of arrangements.
Boy, do I need a greenhouse! Won't have anything like that until at least June (and then it won't be as lovely – sigh.) Love your photos.
