Antique Hydrangea

As you can imagine... there's nothing like walking through a garden with a friend... and picking foliage to create a stunning arrangement...

It's even better when that friend is P Allen Smith... and you can 'cut what you like' right out of the garden...

This beautiful arrangement is one I created for an upcoming show of P Allen Smith's Garden Style on PBS...

And it features an Incredible Antique Hydrangea from my Friend Ginny at Sun Valley... 
P.S. What a stunning focal flower... Love Sun Valley Hydrangea!

Tribal floral 'costumes'

These tribal floral 'costumes' are  authentic floral couture...

We see a lot of attempts at fabricated 'flower couture'... but nothing
compares to the the authentic natural artistry of these beautiful people...

Beautiful melon and citrus colors...

I love Nasturtium...  the beautiful melon and citrus colors...
and when grown organically... they are completely edible...

There's a farmer at our farmer's market... that sells bags of the blossoms for $1.50...

I always pick up some... they're a great garnish for a cocktail...
and I love to put them on my heirloom tomatoes with burrata and balsamic... they have an amazing mustard like taste... 
P.S. What edible flowers do you like to use??
