Power to the Purple

 The garden is in full bloom right now 

 The colors are all wonderful...but the purple flowers are beyond pretty

 I designed this garden with large areas of purple and orange

and it has really started to make a statement... 

especially in the spring

  I usually cut flowers in early morning or at dusk

 Right now I use the kitchen as my arranging and cutting area 

but I am working on the mudroom 

and it will have a nice spot for just this kind of thing

 Little simple baskets add to the arrangement...this is a Native American 

vintage basket

 I wont bore you with all of the varieties of plants..

but there are probably 12 in this bouquet

 the long and spikey Veronica

 butterfly bush

 Woolly Lambs ear....left unchecked and blooming

 So where to put this pretty purple project?

 It ended up in the master bedroom...

yes, a perfect purple spot

 Power to the purple!

have a wonderful and restful weekend

best,

 Kelley
