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 !
Visit Part 2 of this collection coming up next.

Thank you for your visit!

a dog walk and another wildflower bouquet...

This small strip of land along the Marchfeld Kanal is what I call "nature at its best". 

This area  is actually hidden and only a few locals know the place as well as 

hobby fishers trying to make a catch for the day. We used to walk 

Ako here (my rottie)  and now it´s  Lily´s turn.

Lily as it seems, is afraid of the water for she has seen it for the first time in her life. 

She wouldn´t even come near the bank and would refuse to move by means 

of sitting down on the spot as her protest!

My mom in-law went to a special home and Lily can´t go with her so 

we have to take care of this spoiled but 

lovable brat. LOL!

It´s lovely to come here, so peaceful and is 100% untouched nature. 

The onion and potato fields are located on the slope of this area. And from there,

 you can see  part of  Vienna´s 22nd District skyline.

In June, most of the smaller wildflowers have now dried-up

and salvias are  popping out in arrays along the 

onion fields waiting to be viewed or to be picked....

and so, salvias became my materials 

for today´s bouquet!

The jug I used for this arrangement was a lucky find yesterday while  I was

combing the local flea market in our area. I think it looks 

good with the flowers in it. 

Have a good start of the week dear friends!

xoxo,

Mercy
