I don't often pick flowers, much preferring to see them in situ, but yesterday I couldn't resist all that froth from the alchemillas and astrantias. The colours just remind me that Midsummer is less than a week away. I'm not much of an arranger, having gone to the 'plonk them in a vase' school but they cheer up a corner of my kitchen no end. Lovely.

Nearly Midsummer
I don't often pick flowers, much preferring to see them in situ, but yesterday I couldn't resist all that froth from the alchemillas and astrantias.

I AM a flower picker, and I have jugs of them all over the place...... lovely to see yours..... :O)
Lovely Lesley and those kinds of flowers look just right arranged in the "plonk them in a vase" style!

Not much in our garden to pick, unfortunately, but those look lovely. I'm definitely a member of the'plonk them in a vase' school, but M-in-law spent years on 'Floral Art' classes, so I'm much scorned. (Nothing new there then!)
These look beautiful Lesley.
Sadly there's not much to pick in our garden, my flowers all come from Sainsburys (sad eh?). I do love arranging them though.

They are lovely Lesley and very artfully 'plonked'. I can't bear not to have flowers in the house - having to make do with florist-bought at the moment. The garden has to bless me with masses of blooms before I can bring myself to pick any of them!
I've been admiring the incredible moths in your last post - just beautiful.

A beautiful natural arrangement - I'm sure they can be spared from your lovely garden.
.... but please Don't Eat the Daisies ....
love, Doris
Happy mid-summer's eve! Such pretty flowers!

Just perfect - glad to know you belong to the 'plonk' school too.
Can't believe the nights will be drawing in soon!!
i'm trying to email you but can't - is there a fault at your end? Lovely flowers - please send me a virtual bunch!
