Fresh.....

Simply lovely. I found these beauties at a specialty grocer a few blocks from our flat. As a former florist and current flower snob I've always wanted to keep fresh flowers in the house but haven't been able to do so until now. I couldn't resist the whimsy of these delicate pink gerbera daisies. While I was thinking about good contrast I spotted some beautiful burgandy alstromeria. Don't underestimate it. Alstro looks fragile but it's surprisingly hearty - it'll take on a carnation any day. Supported by ruscus greens and the silvery blue wisps of caspia the arragement seemed to make itself. Ah, the small joys.
