MONTHLY GARDEN BOUQUET by Noelle in Arizona, USA (last week of each month). This one will take some creativity but it is SO MUCH FUN! Go out in your garden and make a bouquet. Take a photo in a nice location whether indoors or outside in the garden. Tell the names of the flowers and maybe a little about the idea behind your bouquet or why you like it. You DO NOT have to be an expert florist to join. I was so nervous the first time I posted, but everyone is so nice and you'll get some cheerful comments. Hey, who doesn't like getting flowers, right? :0)
