flowers everywhere

My boss buys flowers at the supermarket for us when our birthdays come; you get a lot in those groupings. A large vase of flowers doesn't seem to do well in our house, so when I brought mine home, I split it up into many.

Some asters in a crock behind Mary and Joseph while they wait for the Baby


bright pink carnations


statice


(did I even need to put water in that bottle? Statice is a dried flower.)

A lily yet to open 


In the living room - a calla lily


and everything else, including some alstroemeria with more statice and asters. 


I like these little bouquets much better.

  1. That must have been an enormous bouquet! I prefer the little posies, too.

  2. Some of those big mixed bouquets are difficult to enjoy, especially when some of the flowers deteriorate faster than others. I like your idea very much, of dividing them up from the beginning!

  5. Thank you! After three days, I used some of the Floralife (?) powder, which perked up some of them. The asters finally wilted, but the rest are going strong.
