It’s been such a long time since I showed a bouquet made up with flowers from the garden, and today it is blue and white. I didn’t actually know that my garden was practically monochrome at the moment until I went around picking flowers and suddenly, hey presto, nothing but blues and whites!
So here we go, flowers from the garden, arranged in an old French soup tureen that lost its lid many years ago.
I found, irises, variegated ground elder, wisteria, aquilegia, verbena snowball, cow parsley and the last sprigs of lilac. I hope you enjoy.

Oh – they are SO beautiful! You have such a gift for styling – the frames up against the wall, the table, the plate – everything – it's just too stunning for words!

It is such a tranquil feeling gathering flowers from your own garden. Your bouquet is elegant and so pretty.
You have arranged a beautiful bouquet.
just so pretty..love the plate and frames!
Wow! This arrangement is stunning! I just came across your blog and I am your newest follower. xo
I adore your fluffy garden bouquet of blues and white. It is beautiful! I will never be happy again with stiff, contrived arrangements from a florist.
Beautiful capture! Unique photography and texture.Loved those stunning arrangement.
Thanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
It is so beautiful and must smell as divine as it looks.
Do you have any hints on how to keep the snowball verbenas and lilacs from wilting? I have trouble with some staying perfect and others wilting within hours.
Thanks for this lovely image.
Beautiful!
Stunning "dahling" absolutely stunning!!!
Oh Sharon that is so fresh and pretty, is there any end to your creativity? I have been glued to Chelsea flower show coverage this week, you certainly give the florists a run for their money!

Gorgeous! You have inspired me to have a spot just for fresh cut flowers. I know exactly where, too!
That arrangement looks bountiful, lush and beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration of a blue and white bouquet….it's inspiring!
Don't you love the treasure hunt of seeing what is available for a bouquet? I love the this process, and so, apparently, do you. You are blessed with the beauty of whites and blues and purples and lavenders, a lofty spectrum of color, beautifully arranged. You are an artist.
You make the most gorgeous bouquets, they are beautiful. When I did have a garden, I found I had a lot of purple colored flowers. I don't know how it happened but husband said to me one day, aren't you going to plant something that isn't purple? HA
I love cow parsley summer and hedgerows 🙂
Too beautiful for words! I had to print this one up and put it on my cork board to see it everyday. What other amazing talents do you have up your sleeve?? Thank you for sharing, Cynthia
Absolutely lovely and you captured it…blogging really is about show and tell isn't it?
Such beautiful flowers and colours,you are very good at flower arranging!I like putting flowers in unusual containers too.

BEAUTIFUL 🙂
Sharon,
Tu es vraiment douée pour faire des bouquets et les prendre en photo ! Superbe ! On en profite autrement quand les fleurs sont rentrées dans la maison…

Stunning, exquisite, gorgeous, divine!
I wish I was a little varmint roaming your garden to learn your garden…
xoxo, Chris
Divine….and don't you love the elder blossom….so simple, so beautiful.
Just looking at these makes me happy. It's a blue and white masterpiece!
Oh my! Truly stunning flower arrangement.
Thank you for letting us share it with you.
Hope you have a lovely day.

I dont know how you do it. I dont think any arrangement has come from my garden and looked as good.
Just gorgeous! What a wonderful combination of different flowers. You really know how to capture that with your awesome photos!

If you lived near by me, I would be buying your floral arrangement right now (:
or forcing you to sell it! xo Z
Blue and white….my favorites. Great assortment of blooms.
Wonderful Bouquet, so nice if you can go into your garden and cut some flowers to make a gorgeous arrangement like you did. I Noticed a wild rabbit in my garden this week eating my gladiolus that are out to grow.
Bon week-end de la Pentecôte

Very lovely flowers and I like the angle of the photos.
Ik had deze post even gemist, maar wat een geweldig boeket, heb je dit zo los in de terrine geschikt? Knap joh.
Groet,

The flowers are beautiful. I love the arrangement with the frames behind it – perfect classic blue and yellow color combination.
Stunning! My kitchen is yellow, accented with my great-grandmother's Blue Willow, your arrangement would look lovely there!
Divine is the word that comes to mind. I am impressed-those came from your garden. Yes! xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
What an eye. They are stunning! So enjoy your blog 🙂
your arrangement is beautiful…i made one out of hedgerow flowers the other day…not as colourful as yours but on the same lines…sn't it funny how the colours go in seasons..if that makes sense…we are all blue, lilac,white,and pale pink in the shop at the moment….have a lovely weekend..xx
Beautiful flower arrangement. Beautiful homeplace and country. Always enjoy reading your blog.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!
Yes…beautiful! Always love to see what you have in store for your readers. I had to pin one of the images!
Glorious~
I cannot believe I have never popped in before….now all I want to do is nose dive into that bouquet!

Your flower arrangements are simply stunning! And to think all of the flowers are from your garden. I'm impressed! Jennifer
Sharon,
Blue and white flowers are my favorite and I try to stick to that color palate. You really are amazing at arranging your bouquets. So pretty and inspiring…I will have to study your arrangement and try to duplicate it on a much smaller scale as I don't think I have quite the numbers of blooms your garden has.
Karen
These flowers are simple beauty…I love the way you juxtapose them against different backgrounds.
Sharon that is really pretty. For once the background to me is immaterial, its the love, diligence and care that went into creating it that shines for me. I can see all the adding and tweaking and fluffing that went on just to get it perfect.
Paul
That is such a beautiful arrangement and such wonderful cool colours for a hot summer's day. I wish I had the talent to do things like that but even then I couldn't have them indoors as flowers affect my husband's breathing. Having grown up in a home where there were always flowers around I really miss them even after 40 years!
Hello from south of France ! I love this post : the generous flowers, colors, the plate (is it a Gien ?), the painting, a mix of nature and art. It's wonderful ! Stéphanie
What a gorgeous flower arrangement, Sharon! Blues and whites make a great combination… They represent calmness and beauty, which I can feel from this. Nature has this power to create things that can uplift your spirit, but sometimes, there are things that need man’s touch to stay alive. I must say you have that ability, girl. 😉
