Picasso once famously said, “when you don’t have red [paint] use blue!”, and those words sprang to mind today, as I picked up this pretty sauce boat that I found last week in a fair, and set out to make a matching blue and bouquet … of course in this season I don’t have blue and white, so I used … red and orange!

I always love your bouquets, Sharon and this is so gorgeous–I especially love the touch of the "Rabbit's Ears" (not being botanically inclined I don't know their proper name) that are perfectly placed for rubbing between finger and thumb. 🙂
As for bright bouquets, my honey gave me the hugest, as in armful size, bouquet of blue and yellow flowers for my birthday last weekend–he said that he was inspired by Van Gogh!
Bon weekend,
Heather
WOW – what an abundance of fabulous colour! You are so lucky (and clever) with your cuttings garden Sharon – I really must promise myself to organise my Autumn planting this year, so that I have flowers for bouquets throughout the Summer! I usually do very well in the spring time (I ADORE my blue and whites!) and then it tapers out in August. What's your secret – yours are always so beautiful whatever the season!
Best wishes,

So colorful and gorgeous!
Absolutely stunning.
Dear Sharon, My kind of Bouquet!
SO LOVELY!!!!
do you use oasis or scrunched up chicken wire to hold the stems? Very pretty!
Absolutely beautiful! I love a garden bouquet and you have mastered the art of floral design!
Very pretty indeed.
Beautifully arranged and I love the bright colors. 🙂
Glorious !!
Picasso was obviously right. Lovely! Wish I had that bouquet sitting on my table here in Los Angeles. Enjoy! ♥
I adore flowers! apricot roses?? did I just see and hear something that is going to send me off on a tangent! OY! LOL
and I adore that you always make bouquets and flowers in your home….and that you consider them significant enough to post them regularly! I love that…and I always look at them with love. blessings, lady
these are absolutely stunning. My flowers should be so lovely.
I haven't been by in ages and I don't know why! Your flower arrangement is stunning, and I love the blue & white container that you've used!
I also noticed in your previous post that you found some lovely canning jars, I love to use those on my kitchen window sill to hold my "kitchen flowers," such as basil, rosemary and dill.
Have a lovely weekend!
Such cheer for a Summer weekend! I am still reveling in the joy of winning Nina's book. Thank you once again! Have a wonderful weekend.

The dear old boat is so perfect for your beautifully-arranged flowers. Thank you for sharing today with us.

Just beautiful, as always. What do you use to anchor your flowers? Do you use a frog or florist clay?Carol
adore the container + stunning flowers. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
so cheerful!
STUNNING!YOU DO have the touch!
Hi Sharon
I love the Picasso quote and your arranging is beautiful

Your bouquet is so sunny and cheerful!
Definitely caught my eye. This is a gorgeous arrangement!
I love all the different types of lowers you fit into one pot. Most people are lazy and wouldn't put the effect you did to put all the flowers in one glass pot.
