Beautiful Bouquets Fresh from the Garden

Enjoy color and fragrance from your garden with a fresh bouquet of blooms.

Heavenly Hydrangeas
This perky pink-on-pink combination features the bold talents of two rosy hydrangeas: ball-like 'Cityline Berlin' and lacecap 'Shamrock'. A pink Oriental lily gives the bouquet additional texture and a stunning fragrance.


Double Vase with a Twist

For a modern look, layer two square glass vases -- one 6 inches, one 4 inches -- and float slices of key limes in water between the two. Roses, peonies, allium, salvias, and geraniums burst from the top of the vases.



Classic White

A tall white ceramic pitcher looks country-garden fresh with a loose arrangement of pretty garden peonies paired with pink larkspur and a few wild roses.


Silver Surprise

Because it's low enough to allow for conversation across a table, this arrangement in a silver bowl makes an ideal table centerpiece. Pink roses, hypericum, sweet peas, and pansies are arranged in a mound, with unripe strawberries dangling over the bowl''s edge for a touch of the unexpected.
