A foggy late summer afternoon.

Burgundy and plum flowers on the rim of a compote filled with delicious fruits.

Thank you Joni for capturing it all!

While working  on a project, we gathered  a variety of texture and simply placed them on the work bench:

vines, striking  foliage and seedpods from the garden; kale, mini-eggplants and some fruits; berries, nuts and succulents; grasses, lichen, moss and river rock.

What fun centerpieces these would be for long tables!

Thanks  Joni for the great pictures!

the swirly seedpod from clematis: a favorite!

A huge Thank You! to Liz  at Oregon Bride Magazine for the invitation to create a bridal bouquet for the summer issue.

Foxtail lilies are amongst the most stunning of all bulbous plants. The spirelike flowering stems can be 4-9′ tall. Hundreds of bell-shaped white, pink or yellow blossoms are massed closely in graceful, pointed spikes. They bloom in late spring and are  magnificent in the garden. Perfect, long lasting flowers for dramatic  arrangements!
