Flowers Around the House

My morning walks through my garden inspire me to make flower arrangements with new designs. Today I picked some pink gladiolus, pink dahlias, and lily of the Nile(agapanthus) for contrast. Right next to my flowers, I spotted a sago palm tree. Since I want to use a tall gladiolus, I thought the sago palm leaf might bring some height and drama to the arrangement. Voila! With the palm leaf as the last touch, my arrangement was born. What do you think?









The following arrangement is from the opposite side of the room. I like to keep similar color themed arrangements in the room.

For more memorable centerpieces, tablescapes, and recipes (including vegetarian, gluten free and vegan recipes), please check out my book, Entertaining From an Ethnic Indian Kitchen, at my website komalinunna.com.

    DAWN TO DUSK

    Yellow’s the color I wear at dawn
    When dancing dewdrops spangle the lawn.

    Red is the color I wear at dusk
    When earth and sky are dry as a husk

    And nothing stirs—not even a wing
    Of bat or swallow or anything!
