There used to be quite a few trees in the yard when we first moved in the house 26 years ago. Through the years, they had either fallen, or have been cut down. Replacement trees were all fruit trees with one exception - a pink dogwood. Most of what I plant in the yard is either fragrant, suitable for cut flower, or edible. The pink dogwood is at it's blooming peak this week
Cornus florida "Rubra" in the yard - it is getting taller than I like so I will be topping it this year
Many of my arrangements were made to bring to work - there was a perfect spot for arrangements in the landing of the 2nd floor
And a smaller arrangement for the house
