Knowing it is never too late to enjoy our Blessings, I thank You for viewing this post today.

 

Using What is Available

9 February 2021

Middle Georgia

This morning as I enjoyed My Breakfast I developed a desire to fabricate Flower Arrangements with materials that were readily available i. e. plant material and containers.

Searched the kitchen cabinets and found some containers that would be proper for the blooms that were available in the Gardens.  

Lenten Roses (a.k.a. Helliborus), Paper Whites and Snow Drops in a vase with etched flowers shown here on the Newell Post!

No blooms, but foliage which complimented the container.  Anise, and Nandina with a branch of an unidentified plant!

A Cereal Bowl with one Ajuga Plant surrounded with Lenten Rose Blooms displayed on the Stair Steps so that it would have a proper background!

And finally an arrangement on the table on the Deck because some of the blooms had Prowling Ants.  Camellia Blooms, one Branch of a Japanese Holly Fern and one leaf from a Fatsia Plant.

I accomplished this project in less than 30 minutes and now we have four arrangements to enjoy for a few days.  The wonderful aspect of this is that no one can determine where I clipped the material from.

Therefore the Challenge for the viewers here is to develope an arrangement or arrangements to enjoy in your own Home.  Or if you are still working, do an arrangment for your workplace - if that is allowed and share your skills with your work mates.  

Thank You!

Lenten Roses

 4 February 2021

These flowers, also known as Helleboros have bloomed as early as Christmas, however this year they are later than usual.  The blooms usually hang down so in past years I have used my hand to take the picture.  This year I constructed a device to hold the blooms upright, which made it much easier to get excellent photographs.  This is the device:

This is a twig that I collected in the Garden and simply broke it off to the proper length.  

These are the pictures I was then able to capture!

I then made a collage which I will have a backing sheet made so I can display them all on one poster!!

Take the time when it is cloudy to acquire pictures from your own gardens so you can enjoy them in the future.
