Floral rebellion

I'm staging a full-on winter rebellion in flower form. I bought pink ranunculus, palest yellow roses, hyacinths, lisianthus, freesias and pussy willow. I thought I was going to make lots of little arrangements. But, as I was carrying all the bunches home their abundance was beautiful and I couldn't split them up in the end. I remembered some of the tips from Michael George's excellent flower arranging book (my favourite) and all the stems build up a beautiful support trellis. I'm pretty happy with the end result!

  1. I thought this turned out beautifully! I always use this method or the hand-tied method! I hate foam and wires!!

  5. They're so lovely. I brought some bright yellow peonies at the farmer's market this weekend. They've definitely been adding a little extra sunshine and spring to my life.

  10. I love that you call it a rebellion against winter. I rebel against winter by wearing out of season clothing.

  14. Thanks everyone - I'm so insecure about my flower arranging skills... I'm by no means professional or schooled at it. But I do so love it!
