A quirky little bouquet
Carol Mann
“The hoop houses are bursting with flowers this spring. Grape hyacinth, tulips, and daffodils have come and gone. Anemones had a two month run, and ranunculus are just finishing after 6 weeks of blooming their heads off. Delphinium, fragrant stock, and sweet william are at their peak, and poppies are just now starting to bloom. The little gem that inspired this arrangement is the perennial lysimachia ‘Beaujolais’. Here, it is paired with the seed heads from a tall-growing grape hyacinth, stalks of ranunculus from which the petals have dropped, and the aged flowers of hellebore ‘Merlin’, all setting the stage for a few remaining white anemone.”
