I found a few bouquets of seeded, spiral and silver dollar eucalyptus. Also picked us some white statice, yellow mums, some lovely green that felt like lamb's ear, blue thistles, and an unidentified reddish-pink flower. I realized afterwards that I unknowingly followed the same color palatte as on New Year's!
I was able to get two large arrangements out of the $20 I spent. Week by week I'm finding a little more confidence in my "flower skillz." I only wish I could practice every day, but darn flowers for being so expensive!
I absolutely loved the blue thistles. The pictures don't do them justice, but they pop against the yellow mums.
The red flowers were beautiful as well. Why is red, yellow, and blue so gorgeous together? Primary colors are the best.
The second arrangement I put in a large mason jar. Poor jar was packed full by the time I was done with it.
The blue of the thistle combined with the blueish-greenish-gray of the eucalyptus is really gorgeous. My apartment smelled lovely!
And, as always, Domo gets to enjoy the flowers. And Patrick's Bayonetta got to enjoy them for the first time.
Now I'm off to take care of a sick boyfriend. It was a wonderful Sunday and I truly enjoyed kicking back with some music, episodes of "Four Weddings," and playing with flowers.
