Seasonal Flower Alliance: June 19

I’m a little bit cheating this week since I didn’t get a chance to post my demo bouquet from the workshop and we were in a hurry to get out of town before the rest of the freshly let-out-of-school kids beat us to the campgrounds. These are the quick digital versions, but I can’t wait to see the film shots taken by one of my all time favorite photographers, Heather Payne.

Bouquet includes: peonies, heirloom rambling roses, mock orange, bleeding hearts, sweet pea tendrils and flowers and grasses.

I am continuously inspired by the many great posts tagged with #seasonalfloweralliance over on Instagram.  I love seeing what’s blooming in your neck of the woods!   Since it is British Flowers Week, I thought I’d highlight a couple cuties from our flower friends ‘across the pond.’

Ready to join in the flowery fun? Here’s a quick summary of how you can participate in the Seasonal Flower Alliance:

1) Snap.  Take a photo of seasonal flowers from your garden, field or that you bought from the farmers market or local flower farm.
2) Tag.  Upload your photo to Instagram with the hashtag #SeasonalFlowerAlliance
3) Share.  In your photo caption, please share what flower varieties are featured (if you know them) along with your location (city, state/province, country).  Optional: add your USDA hardiness zone

Thanks for playing along!
