DECEMBER GARDEN BOUQUET

It's nice when you can go out into your garden and make a flower arrangement for your wife's birthday.
We almost had a frost in town this week, so I'm very lucky to have these flowers.
Happy Birthday, Melanie! :-)

Made from: Mexican Fire Spike (Red), Variegated Alstroemeria (green/white), Loquat blossoms (white)

and green foliage from Loquat, Mexican Fire Spike, and Cast Iron Plant ( Aspidistra 'Milky Way')

GARDEN BLOGGERS MONTHLY BOUQUET ~ LAST OF THE YEAR

Noelle at http://azplantlady.com/  hosts our monthly bouquet group. Are there any brave souls out there in the cold, bleak winter searching for those last flowers to assort and display? Go visit and see. :0)

                Not exactly Christmas colors, but Tradescantia doesn't come in red. If it does, send me some!

                                    Ah, that's better!  Mexican Firespike with variegated Alstroemeria. I did this for the November bouquet and it was such a hit with my wife, I did it for this month as well.

         After a year of regrowing from last Winter's freeze, the Brugmansia finally blooms just in time for the Holdiays.  Talk about patience...a whole year of waiting for this one bloom. That's 2 1/2 bouquets for this time around. The Brugmansia  hardly counts, but I think it's pretty.  Thanks for visiting. David :0)
