FLAUNTING MY FLOWERS NOV 5, 2010
I don’t ever remember picking flowers from my garden in November, but this year is very unusual. There are still a few brave petunias, daisies, and rosebuds. Of course dusty miller and ornamental cabbages are quite hardy, so they are still nice. I made a little arrangement for my kitchen.
Over the summer I picked hydrangeas and dried them by leaving them in a vase with just a small amount of water, which evaporated as they dried. I have gathered them together in a silver pedestal bowl.
And finally, a very pretty purple mum, in an arrangement given to me by a dear friend:
Now , pop over to Tootsie’s blog, the gal who hosts “Flaunting your Flowers” every Friday.

I wish I could get enough blooms from my hydrangeas to make a pretty bouquet like yours.
thanks so much for linking in. I know I haven't been around much lately...hope to change that soon
Glad you liked my yellow shurb. Next week's is pretty, too.

I can't believe I only found this today. I love your beautiful plants and flowers, hasn't this Fall weather been magnificent? I love it here, so much. Your hydrangias dried so nicely, I should have some to dry next year. I planted two Hydrangia shrubs this year. I want to try Dusty Miller next year, too. I desperately need some nice shade plants for my window boxes.
Hugs, Cindy
