Fall Ombre Flowers

I came upon these lovely photos while visiting the site, Ruffled. It's a beautiful collection of flowers created by Sarah Winward of Honey of a Thousand Flowers.  Her inspiration: fall ombre colors...that dreamy gradient of soft colors. 


Oh, and I can't forget, these amazing photos were taken by Erin Kate Photography.

The flowers used in these arrangements include:

Red arrangement: Viburnum berry, scabiosa, wild grasses, ranunculus
Peach arrangement: rose, berries and leaves
White arrangement: snowberry eucalyptus, spray rose, elephant ear plant

The Cutting Garden :: Pink Bouquet

One of my favorite things to grow is cut flowers. I can't be outside 24-7, so I bring in as many flowers as possible. My husband kindly makes me a large area near the vegetable garden where I can hack away as many blooms as needed (he hates it when I touch his perennials).

Each month I'd like to show you an array of floral design using mostly garden flowers with hints of greenhouse ones. This arrangement is a beauty from small stump + studio choo. The flowers are identified below.
