Something's In The Air

Kristen, thank you again for the great pictures!

Elements:  

French Blue Hydrangea, Cape Gardens and the Sea, enlivened with a POP of Cosmopolitan Pink.   Kelly and Jared are getting married this weekend!!!   Their palette inspired this weeks picks--along with some funky finds I couldn't pass up! : )

These garden roses smell INcredible!  Scent shortens the life of a flower, as a result scent has been hybridized right out of the poor things in exchange for longer life--

but some things are worth their raw essence, however short lived.

This Lycopodium is so so cool!  Gnarly and coral like.  Slightly disturbing as all truly interesting things are.

Check out the the China Berries (to the left) and the Dianthus (Dr. Suessy).  The pink Nirine is still shyly hiding in plastic, but her funky petals don't fool me.

Star of Bethlehem...all those eyeballs looking right at ya : )

Droopy amaranthus in red ("love lies bleeding") and green. And, of course, the ever happy Dutch Gerbera (not part of the palette) that lasts for stinkin' ever!

Not sure what was in the air today.....

*something about the mix of rain, espresso, garden roses...amazing color...

...but one woman said,

 "this place is euphoric, it's so sensual...sex-like!" 

(If that offends someone please direct your comments/concerns to Linda apotheca.office@gmail.net--I am sure my mom will lend a sympathetic ear--)

Later someone made a similar comment...I, personally, am taking that as 

a complete compliment.

ThankYouVeryMuch.  

Now, where is the French Blue Hydrangea, you might ask?  Foxy Roxy has her boots on--she'll be pilfering --completely legit--later, after the sun goes down.    ???
