Gorgeous flowers. If you say they’re from your garden, I’ll throw myself onto the compost heap.

in a future column would love to hear how you got started in this business. took classes? apprenticed with a florist? just had a natural talent?

ooh, gorgeous–I wish I knew the names of the flowers so I could say something more intelligent, but I love the wide open blooms!

Just a quick note to say how much I’m LOVING the weeder’s digest posts–they’re some of my favorite! Each week I get a boost of creativity when I examine how the arrangements are made.

I must confess, I often save some of your flower photos for my desktop wallpaper using the “center” position with black as the frame. Fabulous!

That “fringy” flower in the second picture is so neat! I’ve never seen anything like it before.

I often use the photos as desktop wallpapers as well! :-)

Sarah, your posts are so wonderful and such an inspiration. I’ll miss your witty writing this week, but business must come first. Thanks for the lovely photos.

These are gorgeous! This year I am committed to planting a section of garden that’s hidden from the house to use as a cutting garden. And I’ve never tried bleeding hearts as a cut flower…must file away that idea. :)

Peonies make me smile. Thank you!

alix: the paint color is based loosely off benjamin moore’s DIOR grey. we mixed a bunch of old paint together to get it (we’re cheap). I tell people this, and they think i am just hiding the color. but in fact it comes quite close to Dior, a color that my old boss in the art world swore by. DIOR man. i’m telling you.

I also love those fringe-y, white parrot tulips. All of the arrangements are so pretty, though. I can almost smell them!

Oh my goodness, my sense of smell came alive just looking at these gorgeous arrangements. Note to self, must plant more Bleeding Hearts.

Very lovely! It’s the first time I see some “fringy” flowers, I thought they were fake ones (beautiful fake I mean); tulip you say, I’ll have to find some, they’re so elegant!
I admit to take your images as wallpaper, me too ;o)
