The Garden Appreciation Society Week 15 –Show us your blooms!

Share:

Week 15 of The Garden Appreciation Society! Can you believe it? I  What’s even more amazing to me is that for 15 straight weeks I have had beautiful fresh flowers in my house. I will miss them so much in the middle of winter. But let’s not think about that, now. We have to savor every single moment of summer while we can.
After last week’s riot of color in a tiny bouquet, this week couldn’t be much different. It’s a much larger bouquet and a little wild too. I think for me this is when the Limelight hydrangeas are prettiest. They still have a lot of chartreuse in them, which I think is a stunning color in a flower. I added in several spikes of Russian sage, which has completely flopped over and needs to be cut back anyway. The little blue flowers are dropping all over the table, but I forgive them because I think they are pretty.
So pretty, in fact, that I couldn’t resist a bunch of close-ups.

Speaking of enjoying summer, I get the feeling that you are all enjoying it quite a bit because you’re not doing a very good job of appreciating your gardens in new ways. Come on, gang, make this week the week and link up!

There were three lovely bouquets last week and it’s amazing to me how different they all are. A good reminder that all of our gardens at at different stages. Libby’s hydrangeas are already at the end of their season and have taken on that gorgeous dusty pink color. Susie has some gorgeous hydrangeas just starting to bloom. But I think my favorite from last week comes from Kate at Heir and Space whose bouquet is a good reminder that sometimes simple is best. She always puts her bouquets on a piece of furniture that she’s done an amazing restoration or reinvention on and I love how the rudbeckia on the table (in a perfect aqua jar) look like they were just plucked from the bed right next them. Great job, Kate!
