Paul, both of those arrangements are just gorgeous. You have a real knack for arranging cuttings from the garden.

Thank you for posting this Paul

WOW! Beautiful.

Paul: Wow, those arrangements are Gorgeous! I agree totally ...anyone can decorate beautifully with a few sprigs etc. found in their garden!

Paul
You insired me to do a bit of decorating

Sorry this is sideways but the lemon cypress is so tall.
Anyway, thanks Paul!! Looks better in really life.

Looks great in the photos Spring.
I still haven't done anything.

Pretty....surprising what a little natural green will do.

Thanks!

BEAUTIFUL

Paul maybe you could add an update so we know what to gather as the gardens begin to wither??? Looking forward to your fall and winter suggestions.

We are thinking about the same thing. I went for a ride today and saw a rose covered with some nice hips and made a note of that. My foundation will be conifers and other ever greens which I have in my own yard or see in neighbors yards. They don't begrudge me a little judicious pruning. My Son has a nice Holly in his yard and I will use some of it. Perhaps I can find some green and white holly. Then I will look for berried branches, rose hips, crab apples, Hawthorne.or even pyracanthia. I like Mahonia,,Oregon Grape...especially if it has taken on that red bronze color. You can preserve Oregon grape by putting it in 50/50 anti-freeze and water. It takes on a leathery look. I also like a few bare twigs....Go for it....anyone can develope a creative eye if they try.

Yes, we can do it but you always provide wonderful inspiration. Thanks for the lists of things to be watching for as
we are out and about this fall.

Will look forward to your pictures later.

I always make a wreath when I pull the wisteria vines...have one that is probably 4 or 5 years old. In winter it gets greens and such...in spring other stuff. Right now it is decorated with what a friend calls "broom straw"...will have to look for pics. I also have several wreaths drying in the GH waiting to come to life with whatever I find to decorate them with.
