Ninth Moon Floral Design Showcase

Friday, November 7, 2014 through Sunday, November 9, 2014

Well I did look up

Hope everyone is having a great day. Almost of the big arrangement in the tea court. The lilies and spirea are open yet but will be grand this weekend.

Warmer days

A ho hum monday. Am posting something to keep this up, hoping that tomorrow's day is more promising. Tuesday we will be looking up.

In my travels today

Hope everyone has had a wonderful Friday. Throughout the day I took photos of tree peonies in front of Meriwether's Restaurant. It has  cloudy and rainy with spots of sun. The promise of warm weather is forcast for next week, fingers crossed. As I walked home from work, I also checked an arum ( jack in the pulpit plant) in Lovejoy fountain park it has multiplied a lot over the last five years. Eighty degree temps next week will say good bye to to tulips at my condo and will usher in another week. Have a great weekend.

Flowers in the shop today

Just a few photos to show what we have in the shop today. I think it's wonderful designing with all the spring things and that we're lucky to work with such great blooms this time of year. What flowers have you seen or are working with in your part of the world?

Easter composition

This spring brings the bright colors, of tulips, piano roses and orchids. Happy Easter to all.

Incredibly tall callas

This morning I could not believe the length of these 36 inch calla lilies. These were grown locally, the plants must be liking the warm weather that we are having here in Oregon.

This is 2 different views of a bouquet made with these incredible callas. I enjoy working with the wonderful floral material at Old Town Florist. The twisting of the  stems creates a playful movement in an otherwise simple composition.
