Our neighbor passed away. I wondered if I could pull together an arrangement for the grieving family from just backyard flowers. The answer is… yes. Resoundingly yes. So many unexpected things are producing great flowers right now. Hosta. Broccoli. Yucca. Mostly stuff that I didn’t plant. When we moved in last November, I had no idea the blooms that these plants were going to display in the summer.
Our irises were disappointingly short-lived this past spring. It is nice to be able to use the speared, green leaves from bloomed-out irises as a height-giving element to this arrangement.
