One Vase, Two Ways


Not long ago, Anthropologie carried vases/pots like this.  It's a convincing 
reproduction of a well-weathered piece.  


Above, we used the vase to create an abundant, free-form arrangement 
of white bleeding heart,  burgundy cherry blossoms, sea statice and bear grass.  
Below, in the same container
 is a more spare, structured arrangement of green dendrobium orchids, 
green mums, moss, misty blue and some fungus to top it off.  Mmmm, 
so many beautiful options when it comes to flowers.


As much as I love the this flower arrangement, I have to say that my favorite part of this picture is the snail cruising by in the background...
