greens for Pat

Springtime graces our gardens with muscari hyacinths - hard to think of a lovelier, more delicate flower. I have a special fondness for them and love to cluster little friendly bunches whenever there is a chance.


Pat often prefers a vase of greens such as eucaliptus, protea foliage and variegated pittasporum to a floral arrangement. The greens will last longer and some have a lovely healing scent (such as eucaliptus). As she is there and the greens were here, I made this vase for her just in case she visits the site. Happy Easter! Next, is a variation on a bud vase. A single Jade rose in a Fiasco striped green/white pitcher (very spring) with bear grass and eucaliptus... instantly brightens up a room and is an economical solution to the flower question (to buy or not to buy) in these tight financial times.
