Françoise Weeks European Floral Design

These bouquets are structured differently than hand-tieds and they are all about detail. Time consuming to make, but a lot of fun!

Last week the first hellebore started to bloom in the garden. This exquisite winter flowering plant is such a treasure, especially at this time of the year… and it is such a treat that they bloom for months. Hellebores are difficult to come by at the flower market, so I've planted a lot of them in the garden. Once that they have hardened off, they do really well as a cut flowers, as well in vase arrangements as in foam.
