Here we are – grey November days , a little drizzle and no bright flowers to cheer the room. However, foraging was fun last week and a lush green forest can provide just as much pleasure with mosses, cones and lichens, Fir, Pine and Juniper. These sit in a pile waiting to be assembled into a porch decoration for the Christmas Season.
Meanwhile I am using these dried flowers from the summer for my vase/bowl today. I find really soft tissue flowers dry best when left in a small amount of water to just fade and dry naturally. When I forget a vase of flowers I often find a dried beauty like this yellow Itoh Peony from my daughter’s garden way back in July. Also in the bowl is a Zinnia, Dahlia, Rudbeckia, Rose and Hydrangea
Summer Memories
Thank you Cathy and all those who contibute – I love seeing everyone’s creations.
I must make mention of the red Gerberas I purchased the week before last, for Remembrance Day. They are still going strong in the gallery. They are the most amazing cut flower, so long lasting.
Please head over to Rambling In the garden to see what other gardeners are gleaning from their late fall gardens.
