This is so pretty. And you have a talent here. Have you heard of Flora Forager? She creates art with flowers and botanicals. Her book is amazing and if you don’t already follow, you should check it out. I think you would love her account on Instagram.

I loved all your floral compositions! Very clever. The Phygelius is very pretty. I’ve yet to get any of these plants to survive in my own garden.

So glad you enjoy my ‘floral assemblages’, I love making them. This is the first year I have grown this plant, so I hope it survivies my tender loving neglect.

Very clever! It’s difficult to use Phygelia in a way that shows off the wonderful inner colors of those sweet trumpets but you’ve found a brilliant way to do so. It also looks like you had a great deal of fun assembling these pretty arrangements!

Thank you Peter. I’m never happier than when quietly arranging things.

Very pretty and unusual flower! I’ve never seen it before…probably because it wouldn’t grow this far north!

I had a look on your blog to see where you are Joanna, but couldn’t find a location. I live in the South of England. I just looked up the plant and discovered that it is an evergreen shrub or perrenial and needs csome protection in cold weather. It is the first year I have grown it, so I will have to watch the weather.

I’m in northern Maine, USA. It can get very cold here (-34 C). Last winter we could hardly see our house over the snow piles!

Pretty and unusual flower. Original arrangements too. Amused by the inclusion of a red fruit. (Unripe blackberry?)
