NOID Iris from mamajack. Dumb luck on capturing this beastie.

Debra, you are going to make your sister's wedding so lovely with your genius! Beautiful little vases and I can't wait to see a picture of her bouquet. Oh gee, I'm already getting choked up.

And I'm not even there!

Truly works of art & the love is evident.

All your photos are beautiful. I only wish I had half as much blooming now as you do but I will enjoy vicariously through your photos.

Scream SDB. Wasn't sure I would like it because I am not all that fond of acid yellow, but it is nice.

NOID Clematis I got two years ago from mamajack. Hoping she is coming to see me tomorrow and I will find out if she can identify it for me.

Such vibrant colors.

lovemyhouse said:Made the small 'vases' and like most of the results. A good photograph would be difficult given the lighting, but this one shows them okay. Not a square picture, so you will have to click on it for the full image. Not sure if I want to tie yellow ribbon around them. Saving the soft, pale green satin ribbon for the bouquet tomorrow.

You are an artist! You did a fantastic job. Sooooo pretty.

Thank you, everyone.

Put the flowers in the carry box before editing the photographs, so I didn't realize how bad they are relative to what I wanted to show. Howsomeever, the bigger vase turned out much prettier than the angle in the photograph shows. The bouquet came out okay itself, but the ribbon keeps trying to slip the knots and I don't have any straight pins...wait, maybe I do...be back in a minute.

Nope, they are gone. But, I did find my glucose meter which has been missing since I put it up for safety when boy-child was here in January.

Taking my camera to the wedding, so maybe I can get better photographs over there.

@lovemyhouse Debra, those tiny vases just shout spring and I am hoping that everything goes off perfectly while sis is getting hitched You deserve a big

from all involved for all of your work to make this day special.

Debra, your flowers look every bit as professional as a florist. And that they were blooms grown by you, chosen by you, cut by you & arranged by you makes them far more special. Enjoy the day - you deserve it.

I really really like the arrangement with the dwarf iris.... But I am a bit biased! (Wink).
