Pink Snapdragons Say Paris

Friday, May 31, 2013

Pink Snapdragons
jumped into my grocery cart.

What can I say?
So cheerful, go with my house colors, need a spring pick-me-up,
powder room needs fresh look, the price is right ....
Okay, you can go home with me.

Just a handful of flowers in the clear water pitcher...
No need for florist foam, frogs, filler flowers...

The flowers say it all.

Perfect complement to the wallpaper...

Graceful fronds...

Multi-hued pinks, creams, greens...

Each individual bloom so perfect...

Pink hand-made Paris ribbon complements the snapdragons and stems...
And makes me remember Paris florists...



The first fallen petal is still beautiful even in its demise...
Brown edges enhance the pink petal and reflect the ribbon's colors.

The spent bloom creates a still-life
that draws attention to it instead of the arrangement.

Is that not what happens in France?
Unexpected vignettes capture your attention
and captivate your eyes and heart.
