Collection of 34 Wildflower Arrangements - Part 2 ( 2016)





"we gathered the wildflowers
yes, life there seem'd one pure delight
as thro' the field we rov'd.
yes, life there seem'd one pure delight "
-  George Linley  





Hi everyone!


This is the second part of my wildflower arangements done 
between Spring and Summer of this year. And I´m proud to be 
able to present it in a collective form, that way you can see the different styles, 
different flowers and different vases I used for each of the bouquet. 

Part 1 is quite a lot , and the flowers in there were 
absolutely gorgeous and  so beautiful as the ones here in part 2.






My garden is very small and I have a conifer hedge all over
so I couldn´t plant flowering bushes on the ground as slugs would 

devastate all the flowers overnight in one sitting. It is in the night 
that they are active particularly after the rain.



      


This one on top is an arrangement of  all natural wildflowers, 
onion flowers and wild redberries.
                                      










The decanters were found at a local flea market

































































































You might have noticed, that yellow roses were included in some 
of the arrangements. That is because my 22 year old rosebush had blooms 
that started in May til almost end of summer. I used these roses just to 


give the wildflowers some color contrasts. 













That wraps up on Part 2 of my wildflower collection. 
Thanks for taking the time to have a look at  my 
arrangements and bouquets . I hope you liked them!

enjoys the air it breathes".......William Woodsworth


It was nice to have you here!





Collection of 40 Wildflower Arrangements Part 1 (2016)






"You love the roses - so do I.  I wish the sky would rain
down as they rain 
from off the shaken bush.   Why will it not?
Then all the valley would be pink and white and soft 
to tread on.  They would fall as light as feathers, smelling sweet;  
and it would be like sleeping and like waking, all at once!" 

Roses......by George Eliot 


                             

It´s walking Lily, mom in-law´s 5 year-old chihuahua that gave me the
inspiration to look out for blooms grown anywhere in the fields and in our
path .The wildflowers were just there ready to be picked-up.

From all those dog walks, I was able to really gather the simplest
 bunch of wildflowers...beautiful flowers!!! 


  

 I put them in several vases that I collect...nothing expensive though, 
 I see to it that the vase I used corresponds to the colors of the flowers as 
well as the style of arrangement... 







In some cases, I have added flowers coming from my garden to set a 
contrast to some bouquet  to make it look funkier...!





















































































































I hope that you have enjoyed the various arrangement !
