Floral Compositions to 

enjoy

while we wait for spring

Red flowers

Out side my window my landscape is mostly frozen with very little color.

Red flowers brighten the inside garden.

February is the red flower month

Snow day

We just got the major snowfall of this winter 16 inches.

My winter pots took the snow in stride with their winter white coats on.

The view outside my front door. Under the blue sky

A snow day for the kids, but we still had school at home. 

Tough love.

A look back at a Holiday display.

Here's a look back at one of my clients winter/ Holiday displays.

The color scheme was red and gold

Winter at Jane's, a warm welcome

Last winter at this time we were buried under snow, and frozen to the bone.

Winter sings a different tune this year 

Mixed evergreens soften the edges of this metal container here at Jane's front door. The fake pear's, the white berries, and the pine cones keep the tall white sticks company

 A warm welcome no matter what the temperature is.

At Jane's back door there is also a small winter pot set next to the door.  This pot also features evergreens branches of Noble Fir and Boxwood, and birch twigs. The green Millet blooms  give height and textural interest.

No matter which of Jane's doors you enter through, the welcome or departure will  leave you warm. 

Winter gardens

Here's a look at  a winter garden I designed for one of my clients.

There no reason for winter to be bland.

 The front porch pots

The dog run wall planters.

Fake fruit can survive the winter.

The courtyard wall basket

Fence planters
