Backyard Bouquets

I couldn't resist the lovely, once a year lure of lilacs. Their color, scent and soft textures are wonderful to use in vased or hand tied arrangements. I loved using the green mint with the dark lilac. And the scent--wow, so good. I kept my nose in these bouquets all day, later giving them to the lovely Katrina of Studio Laguna, thanking her for capturing these beauties from all angles.
A note on the robin eggs. The mama abandoned them in a nest in our yard and I collected them to show off their extraordinary color.





Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

Lilacs, see you next year, I'll miss you!
