More Succulent Terrariums
Posted in everyday designs, succulents on Mar 25th, 2010
My super-creative friend Alley from Good Stuff… Naturally came over today and we made succulent terrariums! It was a blast! She made the gorgeous terrarium on the top with Haworthia, Sedum and a Manzanita branch. My terrarium was a bit more basic with just a single Pachyveria haagei or “Diamond Plant.”
A Walk on the Beach
Posted in everyday designs, succulents on Mar 10th, 2010
Last weekend I put together a beach themed arrangement for the Michigan Floral Association’s 2010 Great Lakes Floral Expo. I used a manzanita branch, reclaimed stump, succulents, aspidistra, berzelia, leucadendron, acacia and flax. A footed ceramic bowl lifts the arrangement off the table.

Here are a couple of the arrangements that went out on Valentine’s Day:
After I got all of the flowers out the door, I spent the rest of the day reformatting my computer. I’m so glad to be up and running again!
I hope you were able to spend Valentine’s Day with your special someone!

Container Gardening
Posted in everyday designs on May 12th, 2009
Every year my favorite gardening project is planting a container garden for my front porch – just a little something to welcome guests and brides. Last week I was driving home from lunch with Diane (my MIL), and I got the itch to stop in at Bordine Nursery. After an hour of wandering […]
Happy Mother’s Day!
Posted in everyday designs on May 10th, 2009
We got in some great flowers for Mother’s Day this year: bleeding hearts, peonies, lilacs, anemone, scabiosa, ranunculus, tulips and roses.
We also got in some show-stopping cymbidium orchids with 20+ blooms per stem! This next arrangement went to my fabulous mother-in-law, Diane.
A Mother’s Day brunch just isn’t complete without a corsage for the VIP.
After […]
Romantic Rununculus
Posted in everyday designs on Apr 21st, 2009
Sometimes I feel like my arrangements are a little too uptight, so today I did some flower therapy.
I started with a little cast-iron urn from Smith and Hawken. Then I placed the Cezanne roses in groups. Finally, I filled in with bells of Ireland, pink ranunculus and heather. I love the inherent […]
