When I saw these nearly nude roses and raunonculas at the florists yesterday, I just knew they had to come home with me.
Their colour is so delicate and discreet that it could be happily blended into many styles of bouquet, and actually as I look at these pictures, I can’t help but think that the flowers are at their prettiest still wrapped and waiting in an old zinc jug …. hmmm ….
Needing a larger bouquet, I decided to set them alongside some pale narcissus, (should that be narcissi?!) and some mahonia and a little Powys Castle grey thing whose proper name escapes me.

The resulting bouquet is brightening my room this weekend; but it is not impossible that next week I return to the florist for some more nude roses …. to try another way.
Hope that you are enjoying a fragrant and happy weekend, thank you for reading me!

I enjoy your blog and as always, this is lovely!
I believe the gray plant is called artemesia. Also, I've been told that narcissus/daffodils excrete a sap that can be toxic to other flowers & you must be careful using them in mixed bouquets as they can possibly kill the other flowers.
So pretty and wish I had them on my table for Easter! Erica

Breathtaking photos of breathtaking flowers.
What are ranunculas, never heard of them before. They are pretty thought!
Sharon, what a beautiful arrangement, but it's true daffodils will kill other flowers, it's the sap that does it. So as lovely as the arrangement looks, take out the daffs before it kills the roses.One advantage you will have another bouquet in another room. Enjoy looking at your beautiful roses.
Enjoy your weekend.
Your end-product is beautiful and speaks of the spring weather that hopefully is about to nudge the winter blues away. Bon weekend
Thank you! I never knew that ! and yes, 'artemesia', that's the word I was looking for 🙂
I have heard that about daffodils too. Barbara and I are on the same page.
Your arrangement does look lovely. I think the pale nude shades are so elegant
What a beautiful combination of colour and floral choice. You always create something unique and special.
A beautiful bouquet Sharon.

Sharon, these are truly beautiful and very inspirational! I'm on the hunt for anything that inspires me anymore! I don't know what has happened! Wow…I think it's just a season of life….I can manage that as long as I have beautiful posts to read and beautiful flowers to look at! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Sharon
I love your nude roses and you created a magnificent bouquet with the addition of the narcissis.
Have a wonderful week

Gorgeous bouquet as usual. You are so inspiring with you wonderful flower mixes.
Did you know that artemisia,commonly known as wormwood,is the plant that absinthe is made from?
Something to think about next time you're pottering in the garden 🙂
Another bouquet de jour!! I have always been brought up with the notion – don't mix bulb and shrubs in a vase! Guess it's better to safe than sorry! I'm going to look out for that nude rose with the growers here for when this place gets rebuilt. It's a good opportunity to do redo the garden as well. Thanks for the continuing inspiration!
This is just gorgeous.
Just wonderful …
I love your bouquet.
Have a great week end too.
Bisous, Babi
Glad the narcissi have to go because I think their shape and colour detracts from the subtlety of the other parts of the bouquet! Here the spring flowers are peeping out of the snow again. Ugh.
The most enchanting bouquet…. I love the scent of mimosa.
Lovely! So sad the Daff's have to go (or not). Glad to have found your blog. I am new to you lovely writing and your breathtaking Home.
Needed this boost of spring!
Beautiful.
Fine sunday
Just gorgeous!!
Love Helen xx
As always, you have created a beautiful flower arrangement. I love it!

Beautiful! Powys Castle is just down the road from me, the home of Clive of India and the Earls of Powys x
What a day brightener! Thank you as always Sharon. Am I the only one, or can aneyone else see that the Easter Bunny is just outside the frame ready to hop across the scene?
What absolutely gorgeous flowers, Sharon! I know they make your heart sing! Thank you for sharing them! I added them to my Buds and Blooms Pinterest board!!
Have a wonderful week!
