autumn flowers

On the left - Teddy bear sunflower babies (it's their second week in a vase, if you can believe it). Picked fresh last week, they were closed tight - one thing about them, beautiful at every stage but always thirsty. Add and change water frequently. Below a few centerpieces - true autumn garden mix: bold color snapdragons, malticolor ageratum, mint and veronica, crocosmia... i love making these tight little centerpieces. The one all the way down is for a friend's dinner party. It is a small clear glass square vase that fits a surprising number of flowers - there are probably 40-50 stems in there, different groupings tied together with raffia for more of a modern effect. It's midnight, but i have hardly noticed. i love spending evenings working with freshly picked flowers.
