Flower arranging

Do you remember last week's post about Cherry picking? Well, before all the cherries disappeared, I saved a few to arrange them with my flowers. I do think of food as an art. When I saw blushing Rainer cherries on branches, I was not just thinking about how to savor them, but I was also thinking about how to incorporate them into my arrangements. Today, as I was strolling through my garden, I picked some white hydrangeas, three coral-orange colored dahlias, some green proteas, yellow colored astromerias, and some variegated geranium leaves. I chose bamboo covered pottery for my arrangement. I think the container you use is as important as flowers. Here is the metamorphosis of Rainer cherries along with all the other elements. What do you think?

  1. Komali, that looks -as always- really gorgeous. This colors are a burst of energy. You must have a huge garden, full of flowers to have so many matching colors. So beautifully arranged.
    I always enjoy your blog.
