Happy Valentine's Day!


The Flower Olympics ended today at 3:00 pm. We all scattered in various directions, everyone with a handful of flowers. Mine are still wrapped in tissue, tied with raffia and sitting in a pitcher by the sink.

Many beautiful arrangements were made, dozens upon dozens of roses arranged , orchid plants dresses with curly willow and moss, but no time for pictures. Well, only this one, a little wink I literally threw together as a thank you for a friend. Still, I am a big believer in small but charming and you can't go wrong saying thank you with a rose or two, sweet peas, jasmine, dianthus from Japan (our first ever Japanese grown flowers this holiday), sweet smelling ginestra and a few mini cymbidium blossoms.

So Happy Valentine's Day to one and all. Hope it was a sweet one.

  2. Great minds, or just Virgos? My flowers also spent the night - still in their tissue - in a pitcher on the sink. They are far more beautiful this morning. I had great fun; thanks for having me!
